Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012) by Carrie G — 30 May 2015

Ladies if you have a close relationship with your father, get a box of Kleenex bc you're going to need it. This reminded me alot of my own relationship with my own Daddy and it's probably why I loved it so much. No matter how old we get we will still be his little girl. In this movie Amy and Clint have a close relationship in their past and both have a passion for baseball. She can't believe the audacity of her father! He just dumps her off on her uncle and abandons her when she needs him the most. Says he wants her to have a better life and get more opportunities than he can give her. So goes to college and becomes a successful lawyer. Makes partner at her firm. Her father will be so proud of her.

Clint over the years has become one of the best scouts in the business. He feels himself getting older. Sure his memory isn't as good as it once was. His eyes are starting to fail him. He doesn't hear as well as he use to. That doesn't mean he can't spot a 100mph fast ball better than any of those computers and gadgets the young guys snapping on his heels to take his place can do. He remembers taking his daughter with him when he would go to away games looking for new talent. She was just a little thing but his wife had just passed and he was all she had. Why did she leave him of all people to raise a child? He didn't know how to be a father. He was gone most of the time scouting for work. He would make the best of it. Now his little girl was all grown up and a successful lawyer. He only had a small part in raising her but was grateful she turned out better than he could've done. So many memories..... then fate steps in one more time.
