Hmmmm... Too bad. There haven't been many movies about the beginnings of professional football (Maybe none?). It was a great opportunity to open up a whole bunch of ideas never covered before. What a waste of a wonderful opportunity. It could... Full review

My family and I love football movies as well as comedies. This movie literally put my son and husband to sleep! The story line was ridiculous and sooo anticlimactic. The direction was droll and certainly not worthy of the actors involved.... Full review

This was written, acted and directed as if it was made in the 20's. It was corny but it was carried off terrifically!. Renee was, well, Renee. George Clooney was funny in his own way (think O Brother Where Art Thou).... Full review

Leatherheads delights in the brawls, especially those on the football field.....Jonathan Pryce's shady....the chemistry between Clooney and Zellweger is just right....the film's best lines.... ... Full Review

This film, nice but dullish,....Tragically, "Leatherheads"....though the film may well find an audience among those eager for a little diversion, what with the nostalgia factor and the George Clooney factor.....The frustrating thing about "Leatherheads"....in a key supporting role as the college boy's snakelike agent, Jonathan Pryce is dead weight.... ...

LEATHERHEADS , USA , 2008, MPAA Rating : PG-13 for brief strong language
As a director, Clooney is terrific with drama.
There is the American need for heroes that makes a strong move in the final act when it seems forced.

The game plan for "Leatherheads" looks great, but the execution fumbles.
But overall, "Leatherheads" is too predictable and doesn't make up for its deficiencies with charm, despite a talented cast.

Leatherheads has its funny and sarcastic moments, but that alone couldn't give this film the high praise it wanted.
This is almost as interesting and entertaining as Leatherheads .
The storyline is interesting
