BATTLE OF THE SEXES

-

Although billed as a comedy, this movie about the legendary 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and former champion Bobby Riggs drives home a feminist message like a 100-mile-an-hour serve. Emma Stone plays the gay 29-year-old female champ, as notorious for being a Women’s Libber as a tennis ace, while Steve Carell plays the 55-year-old chauvinist who claims he could still beat any woman, and challenges King to the duel.
