Moneyball Hits the Sweet Spot

Moneyball now sits comfortably at 88 on Metacritic, with only two negative reviews. Funnily enough, though not quite to the same degree, its likability seems to mirror The King’s Speech, which ended at 88 but with more perfect scores of 100.  What The King’s Speech and Moneyball have in common is that both films essentially center around a male/male relationship and both are about overcoming fear to become a leader.  You can check out Moneyball’s reviews over there, and in the meantime, here are two clips.
