Description:
Academy Award® winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger team up in this fun-filled comedy set against the beginnings of pro football. Dodge Connelly (Clooney), captain of a struggling squad of barroom brawlers, has only one hope to save his team: recruit college superstar Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski, The Office). But when a feisty reporter (Zellweger) starts snooping around, she turns the two teammates into instant rivals and kicks off a wild competition filled with hilarious screwball antics! Critics are cheering Leatherheads as “a real winner” (Claudia Puig, USA Today).

Average Rating: 
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Clooney his usual anti-American self
As a football and history fan, *fortunately* I only rented this. What starts off well as an interesting comedy about the early days of pro football later degenerates into yet another "hero journalist" and "there are no war heroes" styled story. I should've known that something involving Clooney couldn't possibly just be taken at face value with his recent history of pretentious work like Syriana and Good Night and Good Luck.
What transpires is that Clooney's pro team is struggling and ... Read More
Rating:  - Fun movie of a bygone era
In the 1920's the best football games were found on college campuses. In this movie, George Clooney's character is an aging football player who is trying to put pro football on the map. He pirates a popular war hero turned Princeton football player and suddenly the crowds begin to follow the pro teams. Renee Zellweger is a sassy, saucy girl reporter who catches Clooney's eye, but seems more interested in the war hero. This is a fun movie which does a great job of depicting the mid-20's while being ... Read More
Rating: - Bulldogs and Pigskins
Harken back to the days when professional football was played on muddy fields by players who would rather brawl than run the gridiron with grace and the scoreboard was hard to see under the huge shadow cast by the major college game.
George Clooney - director, producer, "co-writer" - stars in this comedy about the fictional Duluth Bulldogs (in the early NFL years, there was the Duluth Eskimos and Canton Bulldogs) and a league on the verge of financial ruin. The fate of pro football hinges ... Read More
