Trouble with the Curve

Actors:  Clint Eastwood. Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Matthew Lillard
Rating:  7 out of 10, Any movie with this kind of cast is going to be watchable and this certainly is.  Eastwood plays a grizzled old-school baseball scout who’s eyesight is fading along with his career; threatened by tech savvy new comers.  While there are some grumpy old men shots at new technology throughout, but this is more about the relationship between Eastwood and his daughter, played by Adams.  She is such a chameleon and can authentically play any part she’s given.  Once again Timberlake is totally believable and impressive as an actor; here as the love interest for Adams. You even have Eastwood’s real life son playing a small part.  My only problem was the complete predictability of the final fifteen minutes when all the loose ends are neatly tied together.  I was sitting next to my wife and correctly called out the next scene six times in a row.  While that kind of obviousness could doom a movie, it doesn’t here because we’re seeing actors at the top of their game.   
MVP:  Timberlake as the likable Red Sox (raah) scout Johnny
