A big shot football hero is recruited to play for a 1925 professional football team. With the league facing collapse, the owner/player recruits a college standout to take the reins of the team to attract more fans. A newswoman, who at first appears to be the owner's gal, is out to prove the young star has his faults only to possibly fall for him and the hard game of football.

Leatherheads has the feel of a 30s and 40s screwball comedy, which I love. George Clooney fits right in there and Renee Zellweger does a great performance. |

Affable but mostly dull sports/comedy. A lot of big names can't rescue this by-the-numbers film. The setting is interesting, but Clooney can't pull off directing and acting. I will say he tried hard, but just didn't get it right. |

I expected to like this movie and I wasn’t disappointed. George Clooney, Renée Zellweger and John Krasinski are all likeable and brought something special to the picture. I don’t know much about football or its history but I was entertained by this picture because it didn’t take itself too seriously. In fact, the sport and its setting are always the background and the characters are always the focus.

I love the scenes between Clooney and Zellweger because they can talk each other off. Both of them exercise their subtle acting which reminds the audience why the two of them are considered great actors. Although Kra... |

Review - Leatherheads (2008) |
|
It's the 1920s and football is just becoming the new big sport in America. But the rules were a lot different back then, in that there weren't any.
“Leatherheads” is directed by and stars George Clooney as Dodge Connelly, a man who's pro-football league is in desperate need of support. He decides to hire up-and-coming college football player and war veteran Carter Rutherford, played by John Krasinski, to join the team and bring in the crowds. But then comes a love triangle involving Lexie Littleton, played by Renée Zellweger, a journalist out to prove Rutherford's war story a fraud.
Clooney claims that he completely re-wrote the original screenplay to make it a slapstick comedy instead of what I suppose was a drama originally. The reason I believe this is because it still feels like... |
