A decent watch starring Paul Giamatti but worth watching mainly for the Greco-Roman wrestler, Alex Shaffer who steals the show. The plot is interesting enough and holds together for 3/4 of the movie. However, the remaining 1/4 is pretty poor acting-wise, direction-wise and plot-wise.
Still worth a watch though.
There were a couple of funny moment. But, don't bother. Just stay away.
Surfing movies are invariably great, albeit with not much of a plot. This one does have a semblance of a plot but is let down by the screenplay and direction. However, eventually I was well entertained.
+1 for stunning visuals
+1 for Ms. Shue
While the setting is baseball, the story is primarily about the father-daughter relationship between Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. This unfortunately does not really work as well as it could have. However, the baseball bits are reasonably entertaining. Eastwood is just as grumpy as ever even if he's slowly becoming wan and transparent.
Watch if you like Eastwood or baseball.
