Moneyball (Blu-ray/DVD, 2012, 2-Disc Set)

Bennett Miller, Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill|Theatrical release: 2011 | Rating: PG-13 (MPAA)

Movie synopsis

Bennett Miller's adaptation of Michael Lewis' non-fiction best seller MONEYBALL stars Brad Pitt as Billy Beane, a one-time phenom who flamed out in the big leagues and now works as the GM for the Oakland Athletics, a franchise that's about to lose their three best players to free agency. Because the team isn't in a financial position to spend as much as perennial favorites like the Yankees and the Red Sox, Beane realizes he needs to radically change how he evaluates what players can bring to the squad. After he meets Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), an Ivy League economics major working as an executive assistant for scouting on another team, Beane realizes he's found the man who understands how to subvert the system of assessing players that's been in place for nearly a century. However, as the duo begin to acquire players that seem too old, injured, or inept to play major-league baseball, they face stiff resistance from both the A's longtime scouts and the team's manager Art Howe (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who outright refuses to allow Beane's more-nontraditional acquisitions to play. MONEYBALL screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

Editorial reviews

4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his one is the shrewdest take on the game since Ron Shelton's BULL DURHAM and it has appeal that reaches beyond the ballpark."
Box Office - Pete Hammond (09/23/2011)

"As an actor, Brad Pitt has aged like a fine wine. In MONEYBALL, he's in classic, game-on movie-star mode..." -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (09/30/2011)

"[T]houghtful and entertaining....Starring Brad Pitt in top movie star form, it's a film that's impressive and surprising."
Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (09/30/2011)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[Y]ou'll be surprised how hard it grips....Miller essays a restraint that benefits the human moments weaved between the ballpark wheeling and dealing."
Total Film - Matthew Leyland (12/01/2011)

"[A] deeply American film about a uniquely American sport in which a principled guy takes on the moneyed titans because he can't stand the unfairness of what they're doing to the game he still loves."
Wall Street Journal (10/28/2011)

4 stars out of 4 -- "[I]t rounds all the bases with grace, modesty and a surfeit of heart."
Washington Post (09/23/2011)

Baseball will always be the great American pastime.

For a sports film there might be better ones out there [past]. But I really enjoyed this film. Satisfying solid entertainment.

I found the approach appealing and a story that needed to be told. Pitt is excellent, as well as the supporting cast.

Funny, charming, touching and blunt if not brutal. All the things you love about baseball.

See it.

Here's to baseball, I love it.

Blessings, Max Rainet.
