Whats It About:

In sport as in life not every thing is fair, some times not matter how good a job you do or hard you work you’ll never reach the same level as over people and Baseball is no exception, that is until some one re-invents the rule book and looks at building a team not based on their star quality but on their ability to win games as part of the team. You could say it is cheating, you could say it is total war but its 100% what Moneyball is about.

Is it Any Good:

As a sports movie its great, it has all the highs and lows you expect, it has the insane challenges to be over come, it has the personal sorry of Billy trying to balance his personal life with his working life – in short it has it all. More so Moneyball also has something for non-baseball fans (and I am one of those) fans in the fact that yes its about baseball but it’s also about doing every thing you can and staying the course even when every one around you thinks your insane.

Overall:

A great sports film with great acting from the whole cast, it’s not cheesy, it’s very real to life (it’s based on a true story) although if you can’t see past the base-ball and you’re not a sports fan then its most likely not for you. 4 out of 5
