Directed by: Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris
Written by: Simon Beaufoy
Starring: Emma Stone & Steve Carell
In this bio-flick, Emma Stone plays the famous Billie Jean King while Steve Carell plays Bobby Riggs. This film was marketed as the greatest tennis match a.k.a. the battle of the sexes, but it was mostly about Billie Jean King discovering that she's attracted to women and how that can ruin her career. The tennis match was about 20 minutes out of the whole movie.
In other words, the whole movie was advertised incorrectly in my opinion, which in the end ended up with this low score.
Yes, the aesthetics and film technicalities were fine, but the plot dragged on and wasn't exciting. I don't even think you should rent the film. Just skip it all together. It wasn't entertaining at all.
But rather than a kernel, it'll get 1 popcorn, because both gave a good performance.
1 popcorn.
