This movie is perfect for those who prefer films from the 40's genre. the chemistry between George Clooney and Renee Zellwegger is great, and John Krascinski has proven himself a very good actor. It's a fun film, a Christmas gift to my husband, and one we'll both enjoy watching over and over and over again.

Leatherheads is all I expected. It was laugh out loud funny! We need more movies like this. I will watch it many more times.

When I fist saw this movie I thought it was a great movie. For one it is a film not many people have tried to captcher the pre area of football which to me is interesting enough. Some other things I loved about the movie was the feel you got with the movie. George Clooney makes you feel like you're in that era with the camera shots the music the mood and everything about the movie. Yes there is a romance story in the movie but the comedy is great throughout the movie!

If all you have to look forward to is a cold night with nothing but a blanket to keep you warm and only half your brain in a full function mode, this is a good comedy to waste almost two hours watching. Set in the early days of pro football, Dodge Connelly (the George Clonney character) is an over the hill captain of a rag tag pro team. Renee Zellweger plays a tough sports reporter, a differnet role for her. But, then she always surprises me with the wide range of characters she plays. She's the girl in the middle between Dodge Connelly and college recruit star, Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski)with totally predictable results. Like I said, it is entertaining and worth a look see if the night is a total bust anyway. I liked this movie but then, you must keep in mind that I am also a fan of the Three Stooges.

Sometimes a product review is needed instead of a movie review. This is one of those times. This review is about the product - a DVD that is supposed to have a playable movie on it.

I never managed to watch Leatherheads because the DVD has some type of new DRM (digital rights management) that is incompatible with my DVD player. It isn't an old player either. I've received and sent back 4 different Leatherheads DVDs with netflix. Once I finally researched it a bit I found the truth. It's an intentionally crippled product. I don't feel like getting a new player every time a studio decides to alienate the public.

So, if you buy this thing, keep the receipt and test it pronto. Even if you aren't going to watch it right away. See if it works in your player. You may need to get a different movie for that night at home.

Beware buying this as a gift for anyone. They'll politely smile as they ask if you saved the receipt.
