About this movie

Real-life story is based on Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane, who defied conventional wisdom and even his own scouts by fielding a baseball team of castoffs who went on to enjoy one of the most unlikely winning streaks in the history of professional sports.

Ratings and reviews

I like sports movies. I like Brad Pitt. Jonah Hill was great. Just didn't move me. Seems all characters were deliberately cold. Left me with an empty feeling. No one to root for, oddly enough. (Baseball isn't a boring sport, btw. Fans don't have what it takes to get involved anymore. You have to watch, as if you're playing, but you get to scream at the ump. I know. I was a New Yorker, when we had 3 teams. We were are on the edge of our seats and the tops of our lungs. "Get some glasses, Ump!")

Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill should have gotten Oscars for this movie! Putting all those million dollor egos in check and building a winning team was amazing.

I'm a die-hard baseball fan especially a Phillies fan but watching this I loved it. I don't care what other people say about the movie I thought it was pretty great.
