An absolutely amazing movie that non baseball fans will love. Pitt and Hill have great chemistry. A must watch. I say A.

Rating: Null/10 (28 September 2011)

"If we win with this team we will have changed the game for good." After losing to the Yankees in the 2001 playoffs the Oakland A's begin to get picked apart. After three of their best players leave from free agency it is up to GM Billy Bean (Pitt) to field a competitive team. After meeting Peter Brand (Hill) he sees a new way to field a team. Using modern technology and math instead of scouting to rate players he signs of team of "nobodys". Being a huge baseball fan I was very much looking forward to this movie, this movie was even better then I was hoping for. Written by the writers of "Social Network" it has roughly the same feel. Watching what a GM goes through on a day by day basis gave me new appreciation for what they do, and to watch Bean struggle with making a team with the lowest payroll in the league to try and compete with teams like the Yankees who have almost 100,000,000 dollars a year more is impressive. The only bad thing I have to say about this movie has nothing to do with the movie itself. Going in I knew enough history about what happened with this team and Beane himself that the tense moments and hard decisions lost some of the effect on me. But that in no way hurt my enjoyment of the movie, and for those that don't know as much about this it will have the effect it went for. On a side note Pitt and Hill have the same chemistry that Cloony and Pitt had in the "Oceans 11" movies and that makes it more fun to watch. Overall, one of the best movies about sports (not just baseball) I have ever seen. There is also enough in this that even if you are not a baseball fan you will still really enjoy this. I give it an A.
Would I watch again? - Absolutely, I want to buy this.
