Moneyball

Follow the story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) as he tries to reinvent how the game of baseball is played. His plan is to use computers and statistics to compete against the big spenders teams while his team is on a shoe string budget. Alien was delightfully surprised by the subtle bits of humor sprinkled throughout Aaron Sorkin's screenplay. You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this "Little Engine That Could" story.

Alien gives it 3 "winning with less" stars out of 4.
