Movie Reviews of Leatherheads (Widescreen)
Movie Review: PERIOD DRAMA/COMEDY WITH A FOOTBALL FINESSE FINISH
Summary: 5 Stars
LEATHERHEADS gets a wide range of reviews. I have to offer the highest honors. FIVE stars for the fun in Leatherheads. It's simply a FUN flick.
Of course there is the fantastic acting by great stars, George Clooney and Renee Zellweger. Clooney also directs this picture. Both stars get two-hands-clapping for their very realistic performances. Believable people having FUN with their jobs. Clooney as a struggling football player during the beginning days of pro football, and Zellweger as a sexy reporter (in sexy period costumes) working her way to the editor's desk. A Tribune story search of a college football star, who is also a war hero, who is going pro, will be the lead to the paper's plan of blowing the lid off the truth behind the hero's war event.
Of course with 'good-lookers' like Clooney and Zellweger, romance becomes a factor as well. You'll enjoy the banter between these 2 characters. It's FUNNY. FUN! It all takes place in delightful period scenes from the 30s/40s hotels to time-dated football fields.
For action there is bar room brawls, football (without rules), and a fist duel between the football stars, both desiring the great legged girl (Zellweger, she's HOT) from Chicago. Also see "hunk" Clooney with lipstick. Something for everyone. FUN.
The funny, special play of the day, at the end of the movie is worth a star itself. And add another for all the great photos, each telling another story, in the ending credits. Be sure you don't turn off the TV till you've seen them all. Great FUN. Just a FUN DVD event for the family. PG-13 as it includes a few nasty words.
So this is one for the viewers liking comedy, &/or romance, football, action, drama, and FUN. Pop two bags of microwave popcorn and enjoy.
Being a rather late review on this movie, please leave me a helpful vote so I can find out if anyone reads this.
Better: add a comment.
Make it FUN.
Summary of Leatherheads (Widescreen)
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).Similar DVD Movies
