(Running time: 126 Minutes) Rated PG-13
Starring Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill, Robin Wright, Philip Seymour Hoffman
This movie is about Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland “A’s” baseball team and the way he carved a winning team out of a tiny budget. The movie parallels the story of Billy’s (Pitt) rise to professional baseball where he couldn’t make the grade. Now he’s managing a losing team and can’t get enough money in his budget to attract big talent.
Along comes Yale computer/statistics genius, Peter Brand (Hill) with a whole new way of evaluating baseball players and the game. Billy hires Peter and puts his method into play. Then we see how much resistance he faces from everyone, his scouting staff, manager and the press who crucify him at every opportunity.
But Billy has faith and works hard to make his plan succeed. This film is based on a true story. You don’t have to know baseball to love it, but it helps. There is no violence (Billy loses his temper a couple of times), there is bad language which is why it’s PG-13 but no sex. Thoughtful, inspiring and well done, baseball fans - don’t miss this one with your kids 12 and up.
