Battle of the Sexes [DVD] [2017]

Well done film. Very well acted - Steve Carell is especially good as Bobby Riggs. The film is engaging, funny, and moving in all the right spots. The "tolerance for all" message is laid on a bit thick. It's appropriate, just a little heavy handed at the end -- and the film offers no sympathy for BJK's supportive, loyal and cheated-on husband. But it's still a very good and effective movie, and a very accurate look back at the era.

This movie covers the adult life of Billie Jean King. It shows what happened behind the scenes leading up to the tennis match she won against Bobbie Riggs who was the top male tennis player at that time. It seems realistic based on the fact that Billie Jean King consulted on the film. Emma Stone and Steve Carrell did a great job looking and acting like the main characters did in real life.

From what i read, this movie was filmed in a soft focus format to replicate the way movies were in the 70's. Sadly, this was NOT a good idea as it looks really out of focus. Otherwise, the movie was decent.

If you like/or don’t care for tennis but like a true male vs female competion, this is must see. The complex lives of two famous tennis stars who battle each other makes a superb movie.

Both actors did a teeeerific job in portraing Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King. Even though I knew the results, this movie showed much, much more that got me caught up in this wonderful movie

I always enjoy the based on a true story movies and this is no different. Is a great addition to movies of similar categories and well worth a watch.

I know the story of the Billie Jean King/Bobby Riggs match, and they got it right when they hired Emma Stone and Steve Carell to portray them. We enjoyed the movie very much.

If you want to be transported back to this time in history and relive the moment when this occurred then you need to buy this DVD - you have to see it!
