From Netflix:

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.

Gather the family for a feel-good Clint Eastwood film. What easily could have been an overly sentimental film is kept in check with good directing.

If there is a bad-guy in the story, it is Matthew Lillard who plays Phillip Sanderson, the character out to get the aging Clint Eastwood’s job. Everyone else is friendly and supportive. Feel-good films have those goose-flesh moments in which “truth” is vindicated (somewhat like hearing “The Lone Ranger ?!?!”). For those moments pay attention to the snotty new baseball talent and the peanut seller.

Lots of old-timers (Clint Eastwood, George Wyner, Bob Gunton, Robert Patrick, and John Goodman, to name a few) fill out the ranks. Among younger actors count Justin Timberlake and Amy Adams.

For what it is worth, Clint Eastwood’s son Scott (Officer Jim Barnes of “Chicago P.D.”) has a minor role.

Watching this film is wholesome time well-spent.
