great hit to watch. Clint Eastwood is great in anything.

Great movie for baseball fans. Highly recommend this

Nice baseball movie. Good story. Great cast of actors.

Enjoy this movie. Wish the had left out the swearing.

Thought this movie was pretty good and deserved more attention than it received at the box office.

I love baseball movies, but this one fell short...also, WAY to much bad language!

This is an average movie. Amy Adams is ok I'm sure they could of found someone better.

It’s a long movie decent plot that leaves you hanging

Your site must be made clearer to those who buy . I though I had ordered the correct DVD but recie\\eived a Blue Ry instead

Your one surviving parent is slowly losing his sight. You have a very difficult relationship and, at the same time, are coming to a turning point in your own career. What do you do tend to, your career or your family? Gus Lobel (played by Clint Eastwood) is a scout for the Atlanta Braves and has resisted the change occurring in his business and the world around him with every fiber of his being. While his immediate superior and longtime friend Pete (played by John Goodman) values Gus’s opinion and defends him against his detractors, one of them is Pete’s boss and Gus’s ultimate superior. That man, Pete Silver (played by Matthew Lillard) is determined to fire Gus even though he is completely unaware of Gus’s failing eyesight. To Silver, a man who relies on statistics and equations over experience and first-hand observation, Gus is a relic of a time gone by. Gus is given one chance, scouting a highly-coveted player in North Carolina, to prove his value to the organization. Pete worries about his friend and so, behind his back, he contacts Gus’s daughter Mickey (played by Amy Adams). Mickey is a lawyer on a partnership track in a prestigious firm with a pressing case on the horizon. She’s been told that her handling of this case will determine the outcome of the upcoming partnership vote. Still, despite a strained relationship between the two of them, she chooses to go to her father’s aide in rural North Carolina and work in her hotel room and over the internet. When Gus informs Mickey that his eyes are starting to fail him, she begins taking an active role in her father’s scouting trip. A task she is well-suited for, after a spending a large portion of her formative years by her father’s side on scouting trips. In addition to colleagues Gus has known for many years, there is Johnny Flanagan, a relatively inexperienced scout who Gus recruited into the major leagues and who later suffered a career-ending injury. Johnny (played by Justin Timberlake) thinks of Gus as a mentor and, separately, takes an immediate romantic interest in Mickey. Now, many believed that 2008’s Gran Torino would be the end of Eastwood’s career, both as a director and an actor. Some who thought little of the film even took great joy in the very idea of Eastwood’s retirement. I was not among them. I won’t say this is better than Gran Torino or Million Dollar Baby, it isn’t. Still, it’s an enjoyable film about the endurance of family that also manages to incorporate some timeless wisdom regarding the quintessential American sport. The budding relationship between Mickey and Johnny isn’t given as much time, though that’s probably for the best.

We really enjoyed this film, Clint in some ways is Clint but also has another side, a joy to watch! The rest of the cast is great especially the "scouts" must see this movie!

I loved the movie I have seen it twice in theaters and I just picked this up for 10 bucks @ best Buy I got 3 for the price of one deal blu-ray/dvd/digital copy all in one so where I am in my room or living rom so even when I am up in the air I ca watch this on my IPad Mini highly recommended it as well is a good Father/daughter movie too

This movie will please a large range of people. If you're a guy and your girlfriend wants to watch a movie with you, this is a sure bet. It will not break my top 10 Clint Eastwood movie list or my top 10 sport movie list, but it will be one of my favorite "chick flick" movies.

Its well written and a must have on DVD. I enjoyed watching it with my friends and family. I think Amy Adems is great in it.

This movie was great and the extras you get for the money are a bonus!

Acting was outstanding and so was the storyline. Clint Eastwood rocks!

My husband and I both thoroughly enjoyed this movie. We are both Clint Eastwood fans and this was very good.

Its Clint, one of the greatest living actors of our time. The movie plot is different. The actors are believable. Great for one of those feel good movies.
