In the beginning, the rules were simple. There weren't any. A story that tries harder to be a romantic comedy than a sports movie, Leatherheads is about professional football before there were rules - or money. Brash, charming Dodge Connelly (George Clooney) finds it hard to adjust to life without football after his team goes bankrupt. So he jumps at the chance to revitalize his team by signing college football star and war hero Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski). Dodge soon finds himself at odds with Carter over who exactly is the big dog on the team - and over Lexie Littleton (Renee Zellweger), a saucy reporter who has an agenda of her own.
Pros: The football action scenes are funny. I also like the fistfight by the railroad tracks. Renee Zellweger plays an awesome fashionable 1920s gal.
Cons: Lexie's mouth can be pretty dirty. In fact, I skipped parts of two scenes with her and Dodge because I got tired of the sexual references.
My Rating: MT (sexual references)
