Moneyball Plot Summary: Well moneyball is a great movie largely because its based on a great book by Michael Lewis, the guy who wrote The Blind Side which also became a great movie. This one does star Brad Pitt thought which was probably designed to bring in a wider audience base if you know what I am a talking about. The storyline sounds kinda boring, its about the manager of the Oakland As, its a true story by the way, who uses a new way of analyzing the game to become one of the most successful baseball franchises. But its actually a really interesting story with great acting, check this one out for sure.
