A delightful, fun way to spend a few hours. Yes, Clint Eastwood plays another grouchy guy...but plays him very well. Mickey (named for Mickey Mantle even though she is a girl) who is facing a key challenge in order to become the first woman Partner at her law firm is persuaded by Pete, her father's long time friend and boss, to leave for a few days to help her Dad scout the potential #1 pick in the upcoming Major League Baseball Draft. Justin Timberlake sees Mickey and re-introduces himself to Gus who originally scouted him before he threw his arm out with the Reds. Back in Atlanta, a snotty Exec with the Braves is undermining Gus and sends another guy to scout the obnoxious potential #1 pick. Artfully done ending. Really liked it!

What a thoroughly enjoyable movie. Lovely, light romance between Amy Grant and Justin Timberlake, who is remarkably insightful about Amy's relationship with her dad. Yes, really liked the ending.
