donnie m i LOVE Renee Zellweger so i watch any movie she's in-i really enjoyed this movie-great chemistry between her and Clooney Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Test T This film was a mixed experience for me. The story's not half bad, and the cast and their performances are mostly very good, especially the scenes with the two leads. However, american football is not really my thing, and that's what set's the stage for everything else that I quite liked. So I gave it 50%, although this may be a little too generous. In summary, if you like football, it's for you, but if not then perhaps you should give it a miss? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Just alright. Not a fan Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/22 Full Review Audience Member Directed by star George Clooney from a script by Duncan Brantley and Rick Reilly, Leatherheads is about the start of American football. Clooney plays Jimmy "Dodge" Connelly, the captain of the Duluth Bulldogs, who is trying to save his team and football as a whole as it struggles to catch on He convinces war hero and college football star Carter "the Bullet" Rutherford (John Krasinski) to the team. He's a combination of the University of Illinois football star Harold "Red" Grange, who signed to a contract with the Chicago Bears the day after his last football game and Alvin York, the controversial Medal of Honor winner whose fame led to Sergeant York, the Gary Cooper movie. The team and the league succeed as a result of this, but when reporter Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger) learns the truth, she feels duty bound to report it. The entire world doesn't believe her until Dodge plays a prank — much like Clooney in real life — and gets Carter to speak the truth. This movie speaks to the truth of media heroism, how football became an organized and reputable — well, somewhat — sport and the men that played the game. It's also really well done. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member George Clooney directed a non-lifting football film with a quirky sense of subtle witty humor that surprisingly uniquely stylizes a strategy on the well-casted field despite the subplot buildup for purposeful oppositional forces intriguingly against the play as an unneeded obligation. (B) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review steve d The great cast can't make the script, or their characters funny or interesting. Only notable for its football.
