While indulging in a binge watching weekend I spotted one of my all-time favorite films. Recently placed on Amazon prime Trouble with the Curve starring Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. There are so many reasons why I love this movie. First and foremost it is the romance aspect, being that I am truly a romantic at heart, I can never pass up a romantic comedy.

While the filming of this movie takes place in Georgia there are district things that show up in this movie that are truly Southern. The scenes where Mickey (Amy Adams) and Johnny Flanagan (Justin Timberlake) wander around downtown, and the blues musician playing right on the street and talking about dancing. They even clog in one
