In Moneyball (a film based on the Oakland A's game - changing season), Jonah Hill's
character describes players getting «overlooked for a variety of biased reasons and
perceived flaws — age, appearance, personality.»
Detractors of the film are quick to point out the
flaws in the L.A. - set drama, citing what they
perceive to be the film's crass manipulativeness, one - dimensional
characters, clumsy hand with racial politics and eye - rolling core of sentimentality.
