Rating: 1/10
The only thing that this film has that the television didn't is a
bigger budget and not hiding Billie's sexuality. The screenplay is
mediocre and doesn't really capture the 1970's. The television film
also has much better actors and better screenplay.
Both films deal with the sexism the was women had to endure more in the
1970's. However this film does show that women were getting 1/2 the
money men were getting playing the same sport.
Emma Stone is fine in the role of Billie. Steve Carell has makes a
caricature out of Bobby Riggs and not really show his "human side". Yes
Bobby was a real life cartoon but for a film that runs 30 minutes
longer than its television counterpart it could of done a better job.
