Not bad as a comedy but fails to impress beyond dramatic superfluities.
Leatherheads Reviews and Ratings

November 21, 2009Ever since O Brother Where Art Thou? George Clooney has been picking roles where he plays, really, a buffoon. A mildly entertaining movie in that it gives you an idea what the early days of football were like and that, in the beginning, football was meant to be a fun, non-violent...( read more)

November 7, 2009i thot itd b more of a comedy ya kno? it was more like...factual? idk it was boring

October 31, 2009A movie I found unromantic and not overly funny; it had a few giggles but nothing more. The first 45 minutes was actually quite entertaining and then it all just lost its way. The 3 leads are good in their roles though.
-
October 28, 2009Lo mas interesante de la pelicula es su fotografia y Renee Zellweger, que cumple y le da un toque carismatico a la pantalla. De ahi en fuera Clooney maneja un sentido del humor bastante baboso, dibujado y ya desgastado. Algunas de sus bromas funcionan por el momento pero se hecha...( read more)

October 16, 2009George Clooney did such a good job acting in this film and directing it as well! It really captured the feel of the roaring 20's and the early days of pro football in America. Well done!!
-
October 15, 2009Aaaah George Clooney...what a great comedian! Another comedy which he did perfectly. Here he both acted AND directed.
Renée Zellweger, again in the role of the 1920s woman (as in Cinderella Man), proved again she can act a great deal, and so do Krasinski ...( read more) -
October 1, 2009I 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!

September 26, 2009George Clooney no me ha decepcionado como director de cine hasta la fecha. El actor ha encontrado su lugar detrás de las cámaras, y ha probado tener madera de realizador. Con Leatherheads (2008), ha confirmado, igualmente, que sus historias preferidas son aquellas instaladas en l...( read more)

September 6, 2009Clooney, Krasinski and Zellweger are in good comic form and it's nice to finally get a film about the earlier football days. I also liked how the score and the performances are a lot like a film from the 1920's.
Other than that the script needed some work. Too much attentio...( read more) -

August 23, 2009Clooney pulls off a period film that feels like it was made in the 1930s. Comedic timing and style aren't for a modern audience, which is why it did terribly. This film deserves more attention.
-
August 21, 2009A funny little movie...I caught myself giggling quite a bit. ;) Reminds me a lot of the humor in "O Brother, Where Art Thou."

August 5, 2009The film plays like an old slapstick comedy with very little wit. It's too boring and not very entertaining. A disappointment.
-
July 14, 2009Worst film ever.Some films you can laugh at how bad they are but i was so bored i couldnt laugh.
-
July 4, 2009Overall, I thought the film was ok and entertaining, however, it could have been much better. The film had a feel of a 1930's film, kind of like a combo of films such as Harold Lyyod's College and His Girl Friday. Clooney proves directingwise that he can direct a comedy. Actingwi...( read more)

June 15, 2009Cleverly written and likeable tribute to early cinema as well as the start of professional football.
-
June 8, 2009OK film by Clooney. In the end it just doesn't come together. The evolution of Pro Football from novelty to a hugely popular sport could be an interesting story, but the film focuses too much on the love triangle and revelation of Krasinki's past. Also, it ends with a climact...( read more)
-
June 8, 2009It's really too bad that this film falls on it's face as hard as it does. Clooney and, yes, even Krasinski are charming as shit and do what they can with the little material they are given. There is an underlying current in this film that I wish they would have focused more on (t...( read more)

June 8, 2009Clooney's first stumble as a director.It's not horrible,but it's also not interesting.It looks great and Clooney proves again that he could hang with actors during the Golden Age of cinema. I like the idea about football making the jump from a joke to a sport, but they felt like ...( read more)

June 2, 2009Well, I must admit that George Clooney make a weird movie to me... It can't be called as a drama movie because this movie was very light, but full of long conversation with pretty much difficult words used... While if it's classified as a comedy, it didn't make me laugh at all!! ...( read more)

April 28, 2009You see I like George Clooney, but damn what a waste of time and money. This movie was a disgrace to the NFL to what it is these days. I felt like I was watching a modern documentary.
-
April 28, 2009"George Clooney like what he did for Burn After Reading, he does for Leatherheads but does it better and way funnier. Those last 20 minutes are funny and the highlights of the film. Renee Zellweger was funny as usual."
-
April 20, 2009Charming and amusing.. I'm a fan of George's.. so I knew what I was getting into.. Rainy Day film.
-
April 14, 2009this movie was alright, I am a fan of Renee Zellweger and George Clooney is always fun to watch as well as John Krasinski but the cast fails to save this movie. Unfortunately this movie falls into the realm of mediocrity as the jokes are few and sparse while they are amusing its ...( read more)

April 13, 2009With the style we now know he could offer, Clooney delivers a mixgenre movie that combines historic facts, sports, romance and comedy that flirts with slapstick jokes. While some inequalities, the complicity between the razzle-dazzling Zellweger and smilish' Clooney shines. Overa...( read more)

April 12, 2009I'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)

April 12, 2009Took me a really long time to actually getting around to watching this movie, but it was worth the wait. Not a heavy story, just an enjoyable time. A couple laughs but it's just one of those movies you watch and you're like... that was really good. The cast was excellent and the ...( read more)

April 8, 2009This movie is part romantic comedy, part sports movie part screwball comedy. Unfortunately none of these three parts are executed well. The majority of the cast has been better before.
-
April 7, 2009A 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) -

April 5, 2009I normally like sports films. I like John Krazinski from "The Office" and I like George Clooney. So you'd think I'd like this movie but I didn't.
