Plot Summary: Gus Lobel (Clint Eastwood) has been one of the best scouts in baseball for decades, but, despite his efforts to hide it, age is starting to catch up with him. Nevertheless, Gus—who can tell a pitch just by the crack of the bat—refuses to be benched for what may be the final innings of his career. He may not have a choice. The front office of the Atlanta Braves is starting to question his judgment, especially with the country's hottest batting phenom on deck for the draft. The one person who might be able to help is also the one person Gus would never ask: his daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), an associate at a high-powered Atlanta law firm whose drive and ambition has put her on the fast track to becoming partner. Against her better judgment, and over Gus's objections, Mickey joins him on his latest scouting trip to North Carolina, jeopardizing her own career to save his. Forced to spend time together for the first time in years, each makes new discoveries—revealing long-held truths about their past and present that could change their future.

I've pretty much liked all of Eastwood's films but after that debacle at the RNC I'm not sure I can watch him anymore. I'll still watch my old favorites but anything new will be tough for me

If politics were a bar to what I watched, I'd hardly watch anything--I hate the bleeding-heart liberal idea that it's cool to hang out with Hugo Chavez. Thankfully, I can compartmentalize that and watch anything without worrying about political crap.

+1 I hate the politics of many musicians but I cant let that decide what I listen to.

This looks way too saptastic to watch. Ugh. A father/daughter baseball story?

I have to agree. Sounds very silly/sappy.

 

[Cheesebeef]

as a democrat, the only reason I'm not seeing this movie is because it looks terrible, not because Eastwood's off his rocker.

Count me one as well I dig a good chick flick, Amy Adams is one of the hottest women in Hollywood, and Eastwood is gold (let's not mention Play Misty For Me). Dig it.

So far the critics are pretty underwhelmed. Rotten Tomatoes clocks it at 53%

Amy Adams is one of the hottest women in Hollywood

It's great how they've found ways to let blind people use the Interwebs.

It's pretty cool that people with no taste in women can still function in other aspects of their lives, like internet surfing

Amy Adams is in it. I'd watch 5 hours of her reading the phone book.

I just caught the matinee, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Sure, it's mostly light fare, but the acting was absolutely solid and the plot believable and enjoyable. Clint Eastwood's always a blast to watch, and Amy Adams is very easy on the eyes (especially to us non-blind guys ), and she's a hell of a good actress.
