Review of Gender Wars (2015) by Norm D — 29 Mar 2018

Terrific! Remembering the actual event and its hype, who knew there was such a good backstory of personal journey. Stone & Carell hit it out-of-the-park, to shift the sports metaphor, delivering aces in scene after scene, to return to an unmixed metaphor.

The supporting cast superb - even the surprise appearance of Seth Meyers "Portlandia" drummer as an eternal youth pill pusher. For polish, the soundtrack was modulated beautifully for the montage of certain scenes.

And the integration of Howard Cosell was perfect, even amazing where he's merged on-screen with the actors. As goofy as the event seemed then, it's captured again and lifted, perhaps suddenly more relevant now than then.
