What’s ‘Trouble With the Curve’ About? Clint Eastwood Explains the Plot to The Chair

The problem is that when watching the film, it’s almost impossible to squash visions of the “interview.” Well, we figure if you can’t beat it, run towards it headfirst. Thus, to help you get a handle on what the new drama, co-starring Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake, is about we imagined what it might be like if Clint decided to explain his new movie to his new buddy, who – in case you’ve been tuning this entire intro out – is the infamous chair. 

Clint: My movie’s coming out this week. It’s a great, heartwarming story about a baseball scout who refuses to use computers. It’s a real stick-it-to-technology flick –

Chair:

Clint: What do you mean computers are important? They can’t really understand baseball, that’s the whole point. It’s ridiculous to think some inanimate object can have any say in who the next big thing is –

Chair:

Clint: …No, that wasn’t an insult. Hey, we already know you’re capable of mucking up the entire economy. It’s the computer that’s useless. Anyway, we’re getting off topic. My character is getting older and his eyes are starting to go so his daughter –

Clint: I’ll get to the part about Justin Timberlake in just a minute. So, his daughter goes on the road with him and they start to work through their iss–

Chair:

Clint: Yes, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake kiss. Are you happy? They kiss. Yes, he’s a charming young man. Yes. Can we move on now?

Chair:

Clint: Thank you. So it comes out this Friday. Are you going to go see it?

Chair:

Clint: No, I can’t get you in for free. What do you think this is, a charity? Movies cost money.

Chair:

Clint: Well maybe I don’t need a place to sit anymore. Did you ever think about that? Maybe I’m just going to go on standing forever.

Chair:

Clint: Okay, okay. I’ll get you a ticket. But you’re on your own for popcorn. Deal?

Chair:

Clint: [Something like a smile, accompanied by barely audible grumbling.]
