Surprise!Surprise!
This was a surprising little cracker of a movie!
Since the previous reviewer has gone into great detail about what happesn in the movie, I will simply comment on what I think makes this movie worth seeing: I'm not a George Clooney fan (don't see what the fuss is all about!), but I did like to see the light conversational sparring between him and 'Lexie'. It's something not seen in the movies these days and quite a shame I think: a little bit of sexual tension is always a good thing on screen. It allows the viewer something to look forward to....(when they finally realise they can't live without each other). I would call this movie quaint, but in the loveliest of ways possible: by quaint I mean, that the makers of this flick added no sex or nudity scene (thankfully) and instead worked on deliverying a good storyline and a really good script, with some very punchy,witty clever lines. I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially since there was good, solid, convincing chemistry between the two main actors Dodge and Lexie! A must see if you enjoyed the oldies. NOT recommended for anyone
who likes their films full of action, no substance and alot of nudity and sex. (you'll probably fall asleep watching this!) -

American football is rarely a major selling point for a movie over here - even in the US it doesn't have a very strong box office record. An American football film set in 1925 is even less sexy, but Universal hasn't done itself any favours by holding George Clooney's latest back from the critics. Such timidity only gives the impression Leatherheads isn't much cop. Leatherheads isn't much cop, but it's not the outright disaster the studio seems to have written off. Like too many latterday...
