While this film was filled with great performances, it felt a bit too much like impersonation at points. The plot and characters were compelling enough, but the final effect felt just a little...flat. Did they capture the moment? The 70s? The significance? Sure. I just should have cared a little more. This was one of those moments when a documentary might have made more sense.

From the director couple who made Little Miss Sunshine into a big hit comes this drama based on a true story that millions of americans watched on tv nearly 45 years ago, the "Battle of the Sexes", the tennis match between Billie Jean King and Briggs, played by Emma Stone and Steve Carell in Oscar worthy performances that should've been nominated for the golden men. The movie begins with Billie Jean facing off against Margaret Court in the so called "Mother's Day Massacre", which was named since Court defeated King by a landslide on Mother's Day. Months later, all is set for the Battle of the Sexes, a man vs woman tennis match for money broadcast live via satellite on ABC to millions of viewers beaming live from the Astrodome, where 30,000 fans pack the stadium to witness history. In the end, Billie wins and gets the trophy.

You know the plot before you watch it, but the great true story is enough to make this watchable. Stone does her best Billie King impression but fails to pack any kind of punch in the role. Steve Carell on the other hand is simply perfect and makes the film worth seeing.
