Overview
The story of Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball team on a budget, by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.
This is the classic example of a movie that will just about always get at least a good review but it is by no means fantastic. That is why rottentomatoes.com can be misleading. The site takes all of the positive reviews, so in theory all reviews are positive or negative. I heard this movie as being to baseball what The Social Network was to the Internet. The difference is that you kinda have to know baseball to appreciate this movie. The Social Network was easily a better film.
