Title: Charming fiction
Review: Never let the facts get in the way of a good story, and this is a very good, cinematic story. Enjoy the ride, and don't worry about how much of it is distorted, exaggerated or untrue. I was an American League baseball beat writer during those years and walked those clubhouses. But I'm still a sucker for a good baseball story and will happily suspend disbelief when it's entertainment, rather than documentary. The script is solid, as are the acting and directing, if not quite worthy of "Best Picture." My favorite baseball movie of all time, "A League of Their Own," also was "based" on a true story, and those liberties with fact do not bother me. The Special Features with the real Billy Beane are good. One small complaint: "Moneyball" looks a little grainy, which I assume was a decision of the director or cinematographer. That's fine for a period piece like "Stand By Me," but for "Moneyball," I would have preferred a sharper picture.
