Trouble with the Curve
Whatever Life Throws at You.
Directed by Robert Lorenz
Produced by Malpaso Productions, Warner Bros. Pictures
A warm, character-driven drama about an aging scout and his estranged daughter reconnecting through baseball, with themes of mortality, legacy, and second chances.
Slowed by age and failing eyesight, crack baseball scout Gus Lobel takes his grown daughter along as he checks out the final prospect of his career. Along the way, the two renew their bond, and she catches the eye of a young player-turned-scout.
