| Synopsis:
Academy Award winners George Clooney and Renee 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). |

 Great romantic Comedy January 3, 2009
Z. Jackson
When I fist saw this movie I thought it was a great movie. For one it is a film not many people have tried to captcher the pre area of football which to me is interesting enough. Some other things I loved about the movie was the feel you got with the movie. George Clooney makes you feel like you're in that era with the camera shots the music the mood and everything about the movie. Yes there is a romance story in the movie but the comedy is great throughout the movie!
Leatherheads December 16, 2008

If all you have to look forward to is a cold night with nothing but a blanket to keep you warm and only half your brain in a full function mode, this is a good comedy to waste almost two hours watching. Set in the early days of pro football, Dodge Connelly (the George Clonney character) is an over the hill captain of a rag tag pro team. Renee Zellweger plays a tough sports reporter, a differnet role for her. But, then she always surprises me with the wide range of characters she plays. She's the girl in the middle between Dodge Connelly and college recruit star, Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski)with totally predictable results. Like I said, it is entertaining and worth a look see if the night is a total bust anyway. I liked this movie but then, you must keep in mind that I am also a fan of the Three Stooges.
 Careful - incompatible with many DVD players December 12, 2008

Sometimes a product review is needed instead of a movie review. This is one of those times. This review is about the product - a DVD that is supposed to have a playable movie on it.
I never managed to watch Leatherheads because the DVD has some type of new DRM (digital rights management) that is incompatible with my DVD player. It isn't an old player either. I've received and sent back 4 different Leatherheads DVDs with netflix. Once I finally researched it a bit I found the truth. It's an intentionally crippled product. I don't feel like getting a new player every time a studio decides to alienate the public.
So, if you buy this thing, keep the receipt and test it pronto. Even if you aren't going to watch it right away. See if it works in your player. You may need to get a different movie for that night at home.
Beware buying this as a gift for anyone. They'll politely smile as they ask if you saved the receipt.
 Boring, couldn't stay focused on it December 8, 2008

This was a boring movie. It seemed like not enough was happening. I like George Clooney, but not in period pieces, and I like John Krasinski, but apparently he is best in "The Office" because none of his movies have been any good. Renee Zellweger overacted. I kept drifting away while this was on to vacuum or wash dishes.
I liked it. November 27, 2008

And I'm picky about movies. This is a lighthearted good time with a few belly laughs dispersed throughout. Clooney takes on that leader with a semi-goofy persona character that he demonstrated in "O'Brother where art Thou'.
I'm not going to say that this movie mixes just the right amount of comedy, drama and romance to be perfect......it doesn't. But it is an entertaining, fairly tight-knit, well made and funny movie. Guys will probably enjoy it a bit more because of the football and 'guy-themes' like the occaisional bar fight and machismo driven dialogues. However, the lady I watched it with enjoyed it too. All the actors, including Renee, do a good job.
Nothing deep here - obviously - just good ole, occaisionally witty, fun.
