"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. "

"Like that football-punny title? I'm proud of myself for coming up with that, you know. Let it be known that football is the only sport I really enjoy and can talk intelligently about. So, I was more than game for a movie with George Clooney (love him because he's charismatic, interesting, and a fine, fine man), Renee Zellweger (love her because she will always be Bridget Jones to me), and John Krasinski (love him because he is Jim from The Office and is also adorable) that also happened to be about football. I was at the fam's for a New Years' Day gathering that included less-than-normal football--since, if you hadn't heard, the Michigan Wolverines (my alma mater) tanked spectacularly this year, though not quite as spectacularly as the Detroit Lions, but I digress. Also, my dad had made his first use of the Netflix subscription I gave him for Christmas, and one of the films he rented was this one. So, watching Leatherheads seemed like the thing to do. Clooney directed and sta ... "

"Watching Kabluey the other night, I was delighted to see that Lisa Kudrow is letting the camera record her age (45), at least in this movie. Her part required her to look haggard and beaten down, but not necessarily mid-forties; in this business, it takes some guts to show your age, especially if you're female. Helen Hunt, born the same year, looks 45 in Then She Found Me, which is good, except that as the director, she cast herself as a 39-year-old trying to conceive. Does this mean that she thinks that she still looks 39 onscreen? I like Helen Hunt, so I hope that she isn't deluding herself. A while back I found I Could Never Be Your Woman unwatchable because Michelle Pfeiffer has had so much work done that I feel creepy looking at her. See, everybody should be in charge of their own body and if someone wants to get a little plastic surgery done, fine. Their perogative. But as a movie-goer, it's my perogative to choose not to go to films that creep me out. Sorry, Michelle. In the ... "

"Billed as a 'romantic comedy', Leatherheads had the bar set pretty low going into it. My expecations and preconcieved notions of the genre set me up for disappointment and a shallow, trite film with little to offer other than a few sophmoric chuckles at tired and cliched circumstances. In reality, Leatherheads is no more a romantic comedy than Jaws is a film about boating. Yes, there is romance, and yes--there is comedy but to call this film a romantic comedy sells it a bit short of its potential. The film is set in a post WWI/prohibition era, where soldiers returning from war are met with the reality that they have little education or skills outside of the military. The nation is coming off the high of victory overseas, and patriotism and nationalism are at an all time high. The nation turns its admiration towards Carter (John Krasinski), an educated bright young hero who single-handedly saved an entire platoon. However, there is a secret that only Carter and a handful of ot ... "

"1pointsThe film is Leatherheads, basically a 'time passes by'-ode starring George Clooney. I don't want to give too-much of a SPOILER, which is my main complaint with the movie (you don't need to hear how wonderful it is ... George Clooney's in it!): the most-thrilling thing about it is that you don't know how it's going to end. read more Originally posted on:mythman's Xombyte "

"“Leatherheads” has had a long a storied journey to the big screen, and has mutated into several incarnations in the process.It was once envisioned to be a historically accurate account of football’s earliest innovators, a blood-and-mud saga of gridiron gladiators, and a comedic take on colorful pigskin pioneers.It arrives in theaters as a screwball comedy throwback – cobbled together with romantic subplots, early growing pains of the game, and fictional glimpses into the lives of the sport’s bruising brotherhood.The result is a curious mix that is overstuffed with half-planned protractions of what might have been if director/star George Clooney had remained focused not on merely gaining yardage with small hand-offs of laughter, but on just where the goal line of his film was.Not screwy enough for screwball, not hard-hitting enough for a sports picture, and far-too-slight as a commentary on the so "

"Leave it to George Clooney to make a football movie that actually looks good to people like me. And by people like me, I mean people with no interest in American football whatsoever (I attend Super Bowl parties exclusively for the 7-layer dip). Yahoo! is hosting the trailer for Leatherheads, Clooney’s much-anticipated directorial follow-up to Good Night, and Good Luck, and the romantic sports comedy looks like the most appealing football flick — particularly for women and also guys like me — ever produced. Part of the appeal for me, though, is those old uniforms, which bring me back (cinematicaly — I’m not that old) to the football fields of Horse Feathers, Harold Lloyd’s The Freshman and that famous still of Ronald Rea "
