Moviefone's Pick of the Week
"Moneyball"
What's It About? Brad Pitt stars as Billy Beane, the real-life General Manager for the Oakland A's who adopted a controversial new approach to building a team through sabermetric statistics, rather than tried-and-true old-school scouting.

See It Because: Even though the true story behind "Moneyball" has upset baseball purists, the film still feels like a rousing underdog movie. With a crackling script by Aaron Sorkin and a (most likely) Oscar nominated performance from Pitt, it's easy to see why we named it one of the best movies of the year.
