They somehow manage to make Bobby Riggs (Steve Carrell) lovable despite his egregious misogynistic remarks. If you know me, you know I'm a fan of misogyny. Great film.
I remember DJ pointing out Billie Jean winning that match as proof that women could be competitive in male sports... even though she was half Bobby's age. Still lol at that.
