This movie was captivating. I really don't follow baseball, so I didn't actually know the plot line before watching the movie. It was great. Good character development, great soundtrack.

Funny how it goes. Story in the Financial Times some years back about a study that delved into the fact that people without any sense of humor, no ability to tell a joke at all, seemed to have a high opinion of their comedic skills. And some people with bizarre fixations, on issues of sexual identity, for instance, think this makes of them a rocket scientist. Think that this gives them some authority. Yeah, if only. Okay. The movie. Yeah, the last documented experience of enjoying anything like a baseball game that I had was Ken Burns' documentary on the game. To be honest, it's just a bunch of guys watching paint dry to me. But this was interesting in the end. Maybe not the greatest movie since "The Seven Samurai," but it was interesting. Of course, what's really interesting is that Michael Lewis found this story interesting. A couple of guys who looked at a situation and the conventional wisdom that surrounded it, and didn't get out of it what everyone else did? They didn't buy the agenda. Sounds like "The Big Short" to me.

I really couldn't care less about baseball, pretty much all I know is that a guy with a stick hits a ball. But somehow I still loved this movie. It was well made and Johah Hill was outstanding in his role. Highly recommended

Outstanding movie.

For someone who doesn't play competitive sport and doesn't enjoy watching them, Moneyball changed all that! It's entertaining and Jonah Hill is a revelation. Why would Philip Seymour Hoffman took a role such as this?!!!

Enjoyed this movie thoroughly

script, cinematography, the interaction between the actors, were phenomenal. This movie was an A, solid.

This movie is a must-see for sure!! Although I am not a big baseball fan, but the poignant storyline left me hooked. The story follows an Oakland Athletics manager Billy Bean and his attempts to get his team to the World Series. From there he hires a bright statistician, where he receives mathematical advice on how to win strategically. Numerous controversies however erupted as it was evident the team was losing. All in all great story, and a must watch indeed!!

Baseball is my favorite sport but I cannot stand most movies about the sport. They usually are overly sentimental. 'Moneyball' is different. I thought Brad Pitt was amazing as the young general manager with a sense of dread about the cold reality of the game. The pressure has taken a toll on him, and you can see it in his face. I love the scenes where he is working on trades. The direction is understated and beautiful in it's focus on real emotion.

There was a real-life baseball player named Billy Bean who was a homosexual ("Going the Other Way"). I guess this must be a different baseball player named Billy Beane. Hollywood loves to give Oscars to straight actors who play homosexuals. Sorry Brad, you forgot to mention your character was based on a gay guy. That might have added some texture and grit to a dull screenplay (As I watched this movie I kept thinking it would make a teriffic book). Poor Brad goes at this thing like its Hamlet. Actually, its much ado about nothing.
