CadeandKit R @CadeandKit Dec 4 The real-life story of Billy Beane and the Oakland A’s as they attempt to rebuild a failing team using analytics instead of tradition. Kit chose this film because it perfectly reflects her own love for logic, metrics, and decision-making rooted in data rather than emotion. The movie follows Billy, a former player who regrets choosing baseball over a full-ride education, as he fights to build a competitive roster with almost no budget after losing his three star athletes. Cade and Kit touch on the acting, noting that the story itself is stronger than the performances. Cade didn’t find Brad Pitt’s portrayal particularly memorable, while Kit loved Jonah Hill’s quieter role and the film’s overall pacing. Together, they agree it’s a great story with lighter execution, more of a "smart movie" than an emotional one. See more Quinn R Nov 11 Pitt and Hill are great but the movie lags in the middle. Eventually picks back up but too little too late much like the A’s season.

This movie was very interesting to watch. It had a really good story and was well put together. We see in the story that it focuses on “today”, but also Billy’s past, played by Brad Pitt. It was very interesting to see snippets of this during the main story, which kept me in a state of confusion, but it worked out really well. Very well executed by these actors, Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, they all have such a natural way of acting and speaking, which is always so satisfying to watch. I liked it a lot, though there are a few points I would like to add to. The beginning till the first half of the movie felt very calm. It felt like it took a while for the movie to start up. Also there were a lot of moments in the movie that just felt unnecessary and filler, shots of them just standing or sitting, in silence, for maybe a little bit too long and too many times. It just felt a little awkward and unnecessary. The shots were not really there to build tension, so why let it play out so long after or in between dialogue? It also felt like the movie was a little bit too quiet in my taste. There was very little to no music, and some tracks from the soundtrack were just reused which felt quite cheap in my opinion. But still, a good watch! See more Kyle B Aug 15 Need a nap? Has to be the worst baseball movie of all time. Brad Pitt terrible acting. Half the movie is two guys talking on the phone.
