Petty overrated

They made a 2 hour movie from a 90 min story.

To long and gets boring pretty fast.

Petty overrated

I'm much more of an (American) football guy myself, but still really enjoyed this movie. I'm also a math guy, so all the stats and formulas might have appealed to me too :)

@dunpealhunter thats a good roundup you have there.
I was a bit disappointed, thought it would be more about the team and the sport, but instead it's just about buying, selling and managing team members.

There are much much more moving/inspiring true-story (sport) movies then this:
"Coach Carter"(2005), "Gridiron Gang"(2006), "We Are Marshall"(2006), "Remember the Titans"(2000)
check out these!

I didn't understand half of the movie (i have no idea how to play baseball), but still i liked it. A man against uses the statistics of the game to put a team in baseball and even though all odds are against him his team wins a record-number of games. And when he is approached by another team to be their manager he sticks to his ideals and stays with his old club.

A good movie and one of the best based on a true story that i have seen in a long time. Brad Pitt deserves an Oscar for this one.
