Leatherheads

A Film Review By Paul Perkins


No Just A Sports Movie

I am not a big sport fans esp football i have seen only a couple of football games in my 35 years of living. But i have seen a lot of sports movies some were good and some were bad. This week we have a new football movie hitting the multiplexs it called Leatherheads.

Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention.

Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski), America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (Zellweger) aims to prove that's the case.

Walking into the theater i was talking to people and we was discusing if this film would be good or bad. I was saying i am not a fan of sport film but with clooney and Zellweger it should have some good lines from the two. I was wrong on every level the film was very enjoyable and funny and everyone had great chemstry together.

This is not just a football movie to be honest there is more comedy that football sceens which was fine with me because i am not a football fan. But when they did play football it was very good and instense. The acting was very good by everyone and there was some funny one-liners in the film. The film held my attention from start to finish and did not drag at all.

This is a film both men and women will like of course the men will like watching the football games and the Women will like watching George so you will all get your money worth with Leatherheads check it out today.
