Moneyball

Hmmm.

It's a baseball movie...

About being a General Manager?

Odd, to say the least.  But it works.  Due in large part to the fact that Brad Pitt can carry a movie on his back, which for the most part he does.  Aside from Jonah Hill playing... Jonah Hill...but dialed down to a 2....  everything else is tangential.

Based on a true story, it showed that a small market baseball team could be comprised of affordable athletes that go toe-to-toe with the big spenders in Boston and New York.

The movie itself will get a 3 out of 5 on the Netflix scale.  While good, I can't see many people outside of baseball fans (I know many of them still exist...) flocking to watch this one.  Plus I don't find any inherent replay value of watching it again so wanting to own it would be out of the question.

If only it had been about the NFL...
