10 Reasons to Go Watch ‘Battle of the Sexes’


4. Carell’s Portrayal of Riggs Is Spot On

While watching the film, you’ll probably be a little turned off by Carell’s portrayal of the loud, misogynistic, and boisterous Riggs. But the truth is, the actor’s portrayal of the tennis player is spot on. Before the real match, Riggs made numerous controversial statements, such as “The best way to handle women is to keep them pregnant and barefoot.” It was that chauvinistic statement, and other sexist comments made by Riggs, that convinced King to accept his invitation to go head-to-head in a matchup. It was time to teach Riggs a lesson, and King was the perfect woman to get the job done!
