Review of a review: Moneyball

The film I reviewed is Moneyball and the review came from a website I found on Rotten Tomatoes. Author Neil Pond does a great job of reviewing the film and gives you a solid summary without telling you too much. It definitely makes you want to go out and see the film. It is easy to know that the reviewer liked the film and loves the underlying message that Moneyball portrays. Pond states that it helps being a baseball fan, but if not, you still will "cheer" for the film. He has great balance between summary and point of view and doesn't lean heavily on one side. Also, he definitely has authority and makes you want to see the film. He gives good quotes and positive praise towards the performance of both Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. There is also no snark in this review.
