This week we review the 2011 American biographical sports drama film Moneyball written by Aaron Sorkin.

This is an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team.

In the film, Beane (Brad Pitt) and assistant general manager Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), faced with the franchise's limited budget for players, build a team of undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated sabermetric approach to scouting and analyzing players.

This is one of the Aussie's favourite movies. And in fairness to him it was nominated for 6 Acadamy awards although it didn't win any.

The Scotsman is bored by this movie. and he makes that obvious throughout.

But if you love sports and fantasize about being a sports manager. Then this is exactly the type of movie for you.

Interesting due to the biographical nature of the story. This story changed the convention of sports team management.

It is a polarising movie - either you will love it or hate it.

The Aussie gives the Scotsman gives a hard time and calls him "disrespectful' a few times - probably deserved.
