Trouble with The Curve/Million Dollar Baby (2012/2004 - DVD)
Product Information
Trouble with The Curve: 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 could 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. Mickey has never been close to her father, who was ill-equipped to be a single parent after the death of his wife. Even now, in the rare moments they share, he is too easily distracted by what Mickey assumes is his first love: the game. 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. Million Dollar Baby: A well-respected trainer who is estranged from his daughter reluctantly agrees to train a female boxer after he is impressed with her dedication and will. The two form a fragile bond of friendship as they realize they share a lot of common experiences in their past. Their new friendship is put to the test when they face a difficult battle.
