1. I was on the same page with him when he explained the movie.
(= I have the same opinions with him about the movie.)
(Can I use "on the same page" to say like "I have the same opinions or thoughts about something or someone."?)
2. What a buy! What a good buy!
I'm a fan of a baseball team. Recently a new player joined the team. He is such a good player. Then, can I say "what a (good) buy!" when I'm talk about the team.
Thanks in advance!

1 isn’t clear. You probably mean ‘We are on the same page concerning the meaning of the movie.’
2. No. Something can be a ‘good buy’ For example: Getting Apple at $10 was a good buy.
For this, we would say:
He was a great acquisition for the team.
I’m happy they added him to the team.
I love that he’s on the team now.

Yes, you can use both expressions with slight adjustments for clarity:
"On the same page" – This phrase is indeed used to express alignment in opinions, thoughts, or understanding, typically in a collaborative or communicative context. Your sentence works, but it’s more common to say:
"I was on the same page as him about the movie."
This version flows a bit more naturally in English. If you’re discussing alignment in opinions or thoughts, this expression fits well.
"What a buy!" or "What a good buy!" – This can be used when referring to a good acquisition, whether it’s an item or, in this case, a talented new team member. So yes, you can say:
"What a great buy!" or "What a good buy!" when talking about a new player joining your team if they are a valuable addition.
Both phrases sound good and make sense in the contexts you've provided!
