MrsBasil Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I am not much of a movie person. I've sat through one movie in the past three months and that was, um, the one with kids in the 70's(or 80's) who were making a movie and witnessed a train derailment and there was a creature in it. Super Bad? Anyway, with the exception of Bull Durham, I tend to love baseball movies. DH is a total movie buff and watches 1 every weekend. We need a relaxing date night in together. So to get to the point, was Moneyball fun? Was it fast paced? Funny? Good baseball scenes? He needs me to sit through a movie and I need a movie that keeps moving(not slooooow), fun to watch, and isn't gory or gross out humor. Help?

astrid Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We like baseball movies, (including Bull Durham :D) and we liked Moneyball. More about the stats/money involved than actual play, but enjoyable. Kind of a different spin on the genre. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyK Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We all really enjoyed Moneyball. It has the witty Aaron Sorkin influence. And a movie that celebrates math (and has a likeable and influential math nerd) is always good in my book. But then again I'm a lifelong baseball fan. Had to explain that part to my kids.

Amy1k Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I absolutely adored Moneyball. It's funny and sweet and had my husband and I both in tears. :laugh: "It's hard not to be romantic about baseball." :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara H Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 We all enjoyed it. I don't know that I'd say it is "fast paced" but there are very good characters and I'd encourage you to give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splinter Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My 9 year old and I both loved it. It wasn't exactly fast-paced, but it was interesting and had a good story, and still had cute and funny moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 A sports movie is probably the last type of movie I would choose to watch, but we watched Moneyball and I loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Is it out?? I missed seeing it in the theater but I am dying to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy1k Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I downloaded it from iTunes, but I think that's the only way it's available right now. It should be out on DVD/bluray soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsBasil Posted January 8, 2012 Author Share Posted January 8, 2012 Super 8 :lol: I mentioned this post to my DH and that I referenced Super Bad. Apparently they are two very different movies! Oops! We all really enjoyed Moneyball. It has the witty Aaron Sorkin influence. And a movie that celebrates math (and has a likeable and influential math nerd) is always good in my book. But then again I'm a lifelong baseball fan. Had to explain that part to my kids. OK, this keeps sounding better and better. I'm a huge baseball fan, went to school for accounting, enjoy math/stats, and adored Studio 60 and Sports Night. Is it out?? I missed seeing it in the theater but I am dying to see it. January 10th on DVD and instant view through our cable company. Thanks to everyone who replied, sounds like a great date night! DH is going to be thrilled!
