Average Rating: 
Rating:  - No Spark
Something was missing from this film. Plenty of big stars and decent acting by the supporting cast with a fairly interesting story about the early days of pro football. Still for the most part, things fell flat. Clooney and Zellwiger just don't have the magic of the actors in the 40's and 50's. The comedy is never really that good, and the story is never that clever. If you go into the picture with your expectations low, maybe you will enjoy the film to a certain degree. I was disappointed ... Read More
Rating:  - An okay comedy... not as bad as they say
This was an okay, old-school comedy, with director George Clooney playing an over-the-hill roughneck 1920s football player trying how to figure out how to crack into the big leagues. Renee Zellweger plays a tough-talking "girl reporter" (ala Katherine Hepburn) who falls into a love-hate flirtation with him... The movie tries, perhaps too hard, to recreate the snappy, zinger-heavy feel of the classic screwball comedies of the 1930s and '40s, and while this film isn't quite "Dinner At Eight" or "Bringing ...

Rating: - "It's 1925, There Are No Rules"
The '08 film `Leatherheads' is a perfect example of a good concept left unrealized. Attempting to tap into the American sports psyche and our innate fondness for things nostalgic, a film about the 1920's and the birth of professional football certainly sounded like the beginnings of an entertaining storyline. Complimented by a strong cast consisting of such talents as; George Clooney, Renee Zellweger and John Krasinski (The Office) things appeared to be starting out on a positive note and the viewing audience ...

Rating: - Old School Humor
I thought this movie was pretty good. It is old school humor but it has a few yucks in there. Clooney is always good but this movie misses as compared to some of his better comedy roles. I still enjoyed it and think that it will get over with most. It just wasn't great.
Rating:  - clooney flubs
This movie had one chance. To take the direction it was going in (cynical reporter sense war story not legit) and turn it around 180 degrees. That is, the "wonder-boy," who everyone expects to be an arrogant liar, is, in actuality, fairly innocent of any of the dirty-dealing that Clooney and Zellwigger seem so upset about. He could have become Zellwigger's love interest and perhaps had a creative twist. No luck. He encouraged a platoon of Germans to surrender by waking up behind them and shouting in German "We ...
