Funny parody

And once again we have another flash here with some interesting visuals and some intersting scenes, I was pleased with this right from the start it grabbed my interest, now dont get me wrong there is some areas that does need some improvment and suggestions of making it better, and theres a number of ways that you can go about that, but more about that later, so overall this is notbad and i have enjoyed how this starts out. So I must first note that i did see the movie "MONEY-BALL" asim a baseball fan and movie fan and the movie was great and somewhat funny, and as yours was in relation i thought there was some akward moments and it had alot of "RANDOM" humor that gave me a few laughs here and there, really made for a pleasent flash. Voices were actually pretty good with the voices and all, seemed sharp and clear so i was pretty happy with that, There was some issues with the lip synking that should run better and smoother with more effort there. Animation i thought was notbad but with some fine-tunning it could even be better i thought, just a little more smoother would be nice. and with the "ENDING" that was a nice touch funny yet akward scene.So there was not much to this film as it was a "IN-A-NUTSHELL" version, but i found it amusing and how it realtes to the actual movie so its notbad but could use some improvments like started some smoother animation, and maybe a longer nutshell story here, But I did find this animationto be somewhat intersting with some entertaining values, that gave me some interest in it, I wouldnt mind seeing this go longer and what not but have to say i was pleased with it besides a few improvment suggestions that could be adressed.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
To start this off before i get to the improvments, I would like to say that this is notbad at all, there are some real positive points and some weaker points that could be addressed and looked into with some fine detailed effort on your part, so ill just start this off with some suggestions, but if not good luck to all youor work in progress. Some smoother "ANIMATION" would be a great plus to this movie, You may also want to work abit with the moth animation and sound so that they match up more, seems with this one that they didnt match up exactly or much close so thats something to also work on.

Well that appeared to be pretty weird. That guy gets choked and the business guy thinks they are having sex instead which I can only imagine is awkward for everyone else seeing it as well. Not too long but this seemed to be funny.

The animation was fairly well and I liked how the background seemed to look a bit papery to me as if this had all been drawn out frame by frame. Very nice there, do practice and it could be even better.

The voice acting seemed to be rather good to me. I heard no static or popping sound so nice microphone setup then.

The story seemed to be Billy getting a little annoyed and then firing Grady. I take it from the title this is based on a movie then? Seems like a wacky way to sum it up at least.

Overall, this seemed to be rather humorous yet short at the same time.

I've not seen Moneyball, but I heard that it was a pretty p;oor film, considering the story behind the Oakland A's and Billy Beane. I'm still not sure why they made this film, if I'm honest, but what can you do?

I did like the way that you spelled the subtitles "Auckland", as it almost made it sound like they were playing major league baseball in Australia, which would be amusing, considering Japan's desire to be the first country outside of North America to have a major league franchise.

You've captured Brad Pitt's Billy Beane very well and despite the voices, it's not too bad. A little amusing, with the gay joke and the accents, but other than that, there is not much else for me to look at.

This is a decent flash, though I don't think it was very funny. I suppose it doesn't help that I've never seen the movie.

Graphics:
The animation was pretty good for the most part. Though the lip syncing definitely needs work, the rest was smooth. The art worked well enough, but could have been a bit more detailed, perhaps with shading. The crumpled paper thing added an interesting texture but didn't really go well with the flash in my opinion.

Audio:
The voices could have been better, especially at the part in which Billy is being "attacked" by Grady. The sounds made by Billy at that point were neither realistic nor humorous, just irritating. There wasn't really any audio other than the voices and a couple sound effects in the beginning, so there's not much more to say about it.

Concept:
It's difficult to judge a parody of a movie I haven't seen or even heard of before. I didn't laugh at it once myself, but perhaps I would have if I had seen the movie. Either way, I doubt that I would have laughed very hard.

Overall:
Though the audio can be irritating at a certain part and it's not really entertaining, it's still an alright flash.

what the fuck is this? i havent seen the movie, but i cant imagine its nething like this. truly terrible flash
