Trouble with the Curve

An aging baseball talent scout (Clint Eastwood) hiding a secret and his ambitious attorney daughter (Amy Adams) reluctantly team up to evaluate a potential up-and-coming player for the Atlanta Braves. Baseball is just the backdrop for this powerful father/daughter relationship story that will tug at your heart strings. In the on deck circle, the film has the talented Justin Timberlake in the lineup for an interesting 3-way connection. You'll want to root, root for the home team as this feel good story rounds the bases. Alien sees a major league hit here with an all star cast and a wonderful game plan of a story that's always trying to go for extra bases.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "you are my sunshine" stars out of 4.
