    I actually rather enjoyed this film. It?s been given really bad reviews, which I can't help but feel is a little unfair. The direction is great, the acting is spot on and the script is really, really good! C'mon people, it?s really not that bad!

    This movie had a clever ending and is worth a watch!

    A fun little football farce with a good cast.

    I'm a big fan of George Clooney's other directorial outings but Leatherheads just didn't cut it. I applaud him for trying to make not only another period piece but a movie that echoed the classic screwball comedies of the 30s and 40s. Leatherheads has its amusing moments (the spe...( read more)akeasy fight is the only one that sticks out right now) and I didn't hate Renee Zellweger as much as I thought I would or normally do. Clooney's Clooney but John Krasinski was pretty dull. I'm not a fan of sports or sports movies but I don't think my lack of enthusiasm for this movie had anything to do with that.

    A lovely and amusing film which really looks the buisness but is unfortunatley rather dull haha. As said the look of the film is truely brilliant, the costumes and sets all look great and really stand out.
    The casting was very good, Clooney shows his quite surprisingly good prat ...( read more)falls and facial humour, his acting isnt tops but for this its sufficent. Both Krasinski and Zellweger are also good choices for the era, Zellweger has always looked as if shes been kidnapped from the era, anyway her acting is pretty dire. Krasinski is fine but nothing special, alittle too wet really. To look at they fit perfectly yet the acting isnt too good.
    One scene where Clooney and Zellweger are escaping from a speakeasy raid by the police is pretty embarrasing really, corny, cheesey and terrible acting. It isnt much better throughout to be honest.
    The whole thing is sweet and charming but its just dull and not very entertaining with dodgy acting, the great looks save it.

    There was nothing wrong with it per se, but it just wasn't great. There was no passion, really no climax, nothing to get excited about or involved in. Eh...

    An occasionally cute waste of time.

    I was actually a little disappointed with this movie. George Clooney is an excellent actor and did a great job in this movie, but there were times in this movie as if the acting was just adequate enough. Krasinski and Clooney didn't seem to have that chemistry they should have. Z...( read more)ellweger wasn't that fun to watch except for the scenes she shared with Stephen Root. But Root was good with anyone in this movie. It felt too long, but I actually liked the climatic game which was done right. My favorite character was Big Gus. Would've liked to have seen him more, but oh well.

    Not bad as a comedy but fails to impress beyond dramatic superfluities.
