Moneyball

"It really happened, it's really corny, and it's really great."

"Uncannily sharp."

"A thinking person's baseball movie, a more complex version of the inspirational sports story."

"You’ll be surprised how hard it grips, even if baseball means less than sod-all to you."

"Turns out to be smart, funny and seemingly seamless."

"One of the most soulful of baseball movies -- it confronts the anguish of a very tough game."

"Takes all this seemingly dry, dusty, inside-baseball stuff and turns it into the kind of all-too-rare pleasurable Hollywood diversion that gives you a contact high."

"It's an engaging, almost exotic film."

"Moneyball is one of the best and most viscerally exciting films of the year."

"A smart, intense and moving film that isn't so much about sports as about the war between intuition and statistics."

"Impressive and surprising."

"A baseball movie for people who dislike the sport."

"A chest-swelling story about second chances and flipping a finger up (even a giant foam one) to The Man."

"The entertaining banter between Pitt and Jonah Hill isn't quite enough to make such an insular world compelling."

"Persuades as a rousing egghead triumph."
