Emma Stone and Steve Carell bring their A game to this crowd-pleaser based on the electrifying true story of the 1973 tennis match between women’s champion Billie Jean King (Stone) and former men’s champ Bobby Riggs (Carell). Filled with heart, humor and biting wit, Battle of the Sexes is a triumphant celebration of the historic contest that changed the game!

Very flawed movie. I went into it excited and interested and came out just watching the most okay movie of 2018. It was terrible, just boring. The romantic sub plots felt forced, Bobbie Riggs personal side felt meaningful all for the movie to turn him into "blah blah men are better". And I know it's based on historic events, but c'mon. How can ever "guy" be on his side and then the nice guys re just instant good when they good for her.

Overall good movie. I think they should take "humor" out of the description, there's no real humor that I see within this movie. The movie paints what sexism and homosexuality was like back in the 70's. I can't vouch for the authentic representation, but if I were to picture what it was like - this movie is close. Upon writing this review I'm only 1/2 way through it, and looking forward to the remaining story.

The movie was okay...I had no knowledge of who these people were (historically) so I had no idea what I was going to be watching. To be honest, I was hoping for something funnier over documentary style.
