Moneyball is perhaps my favorite baseball movie! It makes what is the boring part of America's pasttime interesting! Brad Pitt does a wonderful job playing Billy Bean, a former major league baseball player and the Oakland A's current General Manager, and Jonah Hill gives what I consider to be his best acting performance ever as Bean's assistant.! It's a must see for baseball enthusiasts and even those who aren't!

With the best players playing the right way, a team is assured a victory. But if the best players are too expensive, do you simply take who you can get and give in? Or have you been overlooking quality players simply because conventional wisdom said you should? Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) is General Manager of the Oakland A’s and after losing the last game of the season against the Yankees, three of his star players leave for more lucrative contracts. He’d hoped to match their offers, but the owner couldn’t afford it. Then, while looking for a trade at the Cleveland Indians’ headquarters, he noticed his counterpart appeared to be taking direction from someone he’d never seen before. After the meeting he approaches Peter Brand (played by Jonah Hill), the one person he didn’t know in that meeting who seemed to be calling the shots. Brand and Beane soon have a rapport and before long Brand is Beane’s second-in-command despite serious resistance from the rest of the staff in the Manager’s office who feel Brand is a threat to the team and the game itself. Sabermetrics has had wide-reaching and long-lasting effects on the game of baseball from supposedly ending the Red Sox losing streak to posthumously exonerating fabled great “Shoeless” Joe Jackson. The story is interesting and Jonah Hill acting way outside his comfort zone is, to say the least, adequate. Brad Pitt also plays his part well as he often does, regardless of the material. That said, at two hours and thirteen minutes, the film feels too long. I don’t say that because I believe all movies should be shorter than this, but I do believe this one should’ve been shorter.

This movie was very interesting. These were completely different roles for both Brad Pitt and co-star Jonah Hill. Together, Brad and Jonah bought two well acted characters to the screen. The concept of the movie was informative, which kept you interested throughtout the movie. For baseball fans it added knowledge. to non-baseball fans, it took the boring out of baseball. ENJOY

Amazing movie. Always enjoy watching this movie. Pitt and Hill do an amazing job.

I enjoyed Michael Lewis's book, and I'm surprised at how well they adapted the story for the big screen. The film is a David vs. Goliath story that completely revolutionized the way baseball players are evaluated. Good for sports fans or anyone who likes to think outside the box.

My wife loves this movie and I had no interest in it. I bought it for her and watched it with her. It was much better than I thought. Very interesting and great quality

Brad Pitt was perfect for this part and the dialogue was great between him and his sidekick and also the coach. Well done even if you're not a baseball fan.

An avid sports fan knows how this story ends. But just like Titanic, knowing the ending does not spoil the journey or the story. A must-have for sports fans.

It was a great movie! Brad Pitt did a good job playing the character, can't remember his name now.

Avid sports fan and movie watcher I think even if your not into baseball you would like this video great moments in history

Not sure what to expect with this movie when I put it into my player. It was a good movie. I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't what I expected it would be.

I love this movie since it talks about baseball considering I'm a big baseball fan and Brad Pitt does a good job.

Great film that showcases great acting, dialogue, and a film about baseball that isn't cliched.

Not sure why this movie was so overlooked by so many. It is a good movie and well worth the watch!

When i bought this movie during friday i wasn't expecting anything good, i hear some good reviews, but it was a fantastic movie.

great baseball movie love the strategy it shows to make a good team

Love this movie. Must see and I recommend owning for any collection.

One of the best movies I seen in awhile. Will watch over and over again.

One of the best sports movies ever made. I'm not a big A's fan.

Great story about an interesting scouting technique. Jonah Hill is quite surprising here.
