Very good movie especially if you like baseball and remember the 2002 Oakland A's. It says "based on a true story: and I wonder how much of the stuff was accurate.

They used all the players real names and the "behind the scene front office" stuff that went on was interesting too. Example: It was interesting to see the reason why Art Howe lost his job as manger after the 2002 season when the team went 103-59 and during one stretch won an American League record 20 games in a row.

Suggestion: (If you haven't read the book) read up on Billy Beane and the 2002 Oakland A's before seeing it.
