Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClint Eastwood said about himself acting in this movie about aging in an interview: "You get to a certain age, you're just glad to be there. You have to be a realist so you try to look for roles that are within the age range you are in. It would be kind of ridiculous if I wanted to play a thirty-five-year-old guy. I've enjoyed the journey to this stage and I intend to enjoy the rest of the journey."
- GoofsHigh school baseball games are only 7 innings, not 9 as depicted in the film.

Featured review
520th Review: Happy to go out to this ballpark
Curve is a return to a more old-fashioned style of baseball film after Moneyball - but one that has some real acting and even a little sport's magic about it - and you can see both styles of film-making here.
Eastwood is more than watchable as the old dog of a baseball scout, Adams deliveries a great performance - she pulls off the difficult role of cute and ballsy with panache, and Timberlake is charming, but definitely Wahlberg would be first pick here, Justin struggles a little to get beyond romantic comedy to something matching the gravitas the other two bring (with a light touch).
The film is a wonderful relationship film with sports - not many films really look at grown father and grown daughter and work that through in mainstream cinema - Curve does, and the script is good.
All in all, if you like sports with more than just the sport this is well worth your time - it is one of my favourites of the year.
