Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Trouble with the Curve is a 2012 sports-drama film directed by Robert Lorenz and starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake, Matthew Lillard, and John Goodman.Eastwood plays Gus Lobel, a baseball talent scout for the Atlanta Braves. Gus's eyesight is failing, more of his job is being done by computers he doesn't understand, and he's badly estranged with his daughter, Mickey (Adams). He's given an assignment to determine whether it's time to put him to pasture, evaluating an up-and-coming prospect named Bo Gentry. In the course of the scouting trip, he's forced to admit to his failings, and tries to connect once more with his daughter. Also in the picture is Johnny "The Flame" Flanagan (Timberlake), a former player Gus had scouted who is now himself a scout for the Boston Red Sox... and who takes quite a shine to Mickey.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Chivalrous Pervert: Johnny helps Gus defend Mickey against the harasser... and then steals a kiss, to her chagrin. And then, when she tells him not to peek as she undresses to follow him into the river, his reply is to verbally stare at the car... which she's undressing right next to.

Career Versus Man: Mickey's boyfriend has popped the question to her, and she's putting it off to focus on getting the partnership... which gets him fed up enough to break up.

Chekhov's Skill: Early in the film, Rigo tosses a bag of peanuts to Bo. His throw is smooth, fast, and on-target.

Clint Squint: Gus... of course. Amy Adams seem to be trying it out a few times, herself—making it run in the family.
