A treat for Brad Pitt fans: Moneyball is out now on DVD

Moneyball is a 2011 biographical drama film, featuring the world sexiest man – Brad Pitt. The movie is directed by Bennett Miller and was released on September 23rd, 2011. The film is based on the 2003’s book of the same name and is distributed
by the Columbia Pictures.

The $50 million budgeted centres on the Oakland A’s general manager, Billy Beane’s (starred by Pitt) successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a very low budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players. If he wants to win
the World Series, Beane must find a competitive advantage.

The film received positive reviews from all critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 95 percent, based on reviews from 213 critics, with an average score of 8 out of 10. The site’s general consensus states, “Director Bennett Miller,
along with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, take a niche subject and turn it into a sharp, funny, and touching portrait worthy of baseball lore.”

Lisa Kennedy of the Denver Post gave it a score of 3.5 out of 4 and declared, “Pitt, who has a producing credit, is not the sole reason this tremendous — yet intimate — sports tale soars over the fences. The bench is deep. And the script has a powerful
but finessed swing.”

Detroit News’ top film critic, Tom Long, gave the film a rating of B- and said, “Moneyball turns an unlikely subject interesting, making a professional sport the nexus where past and future collide.”

IMDB gave it a score of 7.8 out of 10 based from its 34,034 users while another review aggregator site, Metacritic, gave Moneyball a score of 87 out of 100.

Moneyball is out now on DVD and you should buy it, since it’s a must watch flick.
