Brad Pitt's 'Moneyball': What the Moviegoers Are Saying

"A wise financial investment," says one, while another calls it a "must see," but one gripes that Pitt's character, Oakland As manager Billy Beane, "is portrayed as a cross between the Fonz & Rocky."
Brad Pitt hit theaters Friday in Moneyball, in which he plays Oakland As manager Billy Beane.
The baseball drama, which co-stars Jonah Hill, topped the box office Friday night, raking in an estimated $6.8 million.

The movie has received positive reviews from critics, but what are the moviegoers saying?
Jerry Seinfeld, for one, is a fan.
"Moneyball my new favorite movie of all time! Disregard all previous!" he tweeted, although one of his followers questioned whether the comedian was being sincere or sarcastic.
Many moviegoers also hit Twitter to share their opinions, which were mostly positive. Among them:

I thought Moneyball was good. It's a shame that opening night it was hardly playing anywhere

One thing to pay attention to right from the get-go in #moneyball is the use of sound/music.

My favorite scene is when Moneyball helps out the orphanage by throwing 100mph wads of cash at them. Go, Moneyball, go!

Billy Beane is portrayed as a cross between the Fonz & Rocky while Art Howe is all Three Stooges. It's a little much.
