IMDB

The general manager of the Oakland Athletics decides to employ a statistics-based strategy to make a winning team with the meager budget allotted.
A great film.  I rented this basically just because it was nominated for best picture at the Academy Awards.  Had I known that Aaron Sorkin co-wrote this, I would have rented it for that reason.  Either way, it was rented.
I do not watch sports, besides the occasional women’s tennis match, but I love a sports movie.  Hell, I even liked “Real Steel” and it’s not even about a real sport.  I absolutely hate baseball, but this movie had me enthralled.  It could have been another 40 minutes and I wouldn’t have wavered.


9.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
