Genre:
Lisa's athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. George is a straight-arrow businessman who is accused of a financial crime, even though he's done nothing wrong. Although he may be headed to jail, George's honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity. George and Lisa meet on the worst day of each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.

Movies.ie Critic Review
Witherspoon plays the Team USA softball poster girl who finds herself being turfed out when she hits 31 whilst Rudd is the fall guy for some dodgy Middle East dealings at the investment company run by his dad (Nicholson, in full smirk mode) and Wilson is the Washington Nationals baseball pitcher who, we’re supposed to believe, is a highly sensitive cocksmith.
THE VERDICT: How dull is this movie? Well, the words ‘very’ and ‘very’ spring instantly to mind. The great James L. Brooks might be something of a Hollywood legend, but it can still squeeze out the odd dud. And How Do You Know is right down there with I’ll Do Anything and Spanglish. Right down there.
