Holly Hunter and Ron Silver were great choices for Billie and Bobby. I saw the real match as a kid and it was fun to see such a close match in looks and personality of the two main characters. The movie captured the mood and significance of the match while keeping it light and interesting. I was not very impressed with the Howard Cosell imitator. With all of the impersonators that do HC so wonderfully, this actor did not successfully carry it off for someone like me who remembers Cosell so vividly. This, however, did not take away from the movie. I still found it extremely entertaining!
