Film Review: TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE
Trouble with the Curve is a good old fashioned, feel good movie longing to put a well needed smile on your face.... Naomi

A moving film exploring aging out of a career even though the passion and skills surmount all else - something easily related to. This film also tells the story of a family who, by struggling to do the best by each other, end up doing the opposite.
There is a little baseball in there too, but I don't know much about that. It always looked like so much fun in the American movies I watched as a child - all those hotdogs and the kid delighted at catching the famous guys ball and "I love you" printed on the big screen in a grand proposal - I went to a game during the Sydney Olympics and it was slow and boring and there were no vegetarian hotdogs, so I guess it's something to do with sharing the game with others as you grow up, a bit like cricket and football.
In the film the boring bits of the game are cut out and we just see careers made and crushed. There's a cute love story and John Goodman... I'm loving seeing him in a few more films... bring on more John Goodman and Clint Eastwood too.
