I enjoyed <em>'Trouble with the Curve'</em>. There are a few too many moments of cringe for my liking, renditions of '<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Are_My_Sunshine" rel="nofollow">You Are My Sunshine</a>' included, but as a whole it's a solidly entertaining sports flick - with added love drama. The cast are the film's major plus, with Clint Eastwood - in his first strictly acting role since the early 1990s and last to date of review - and Amy Adams naturally sticking out most. Other cast members include Justin Timberlake, Matthew Lillard, John Goodman and Scott Eastwood - the latter shares a scene with his father, which is nice. A few different choices by the filmmakers and I'd be rating this a tad higher, but as is it's a good film - one that is worth a watch.
