Full Plot Details

A romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America's nascent pro-football league in 1925. Dodge Connelly (George Clooney), a charming, brash football hero, 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 The Great War, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger) aims to prove that's the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections. As the new game of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must fight to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter.

Movie Reviews

Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerA 1920s football saga that blends rusty screwball comedy and perfunctory romance under a period piece veneer.
Beaumont Journal - 9/10 by Danny MintonClooney and gang turn this intelligent sports comedy into a fun and enjoyable escapade.
Ebert & Roeper - 9/10 by Richard RoeperLeatherheads is a romp with some great chemistry between the leads and enough laughs and surprises to keep you entertained.
Cinematical - 8/10 by James Rocchi"Screwball comedy" implies a certain snap and rotation -- a velocity to the gags and a vector to the plot -- but the people who made Leatherheads don't quite have the strength of arm or skew of angle to make Leatherheads truly screwball ...
Christianity Today - 8/10 by Russ BreimeierIt juggles too many elements--sports, romance, slapstick, Capra-esque cinema--and doesn't do justice to any of them. But the film is brimming with nostalgia and charm.
USA Today - 8/10 by Claudia PuigMore amiable than witty and relying heavily on the likability and charm of its lead actors, Leatherheads scores more points as a retro romantic comedy than a football saga.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Pete HammondWithout anything else on its mind but to entertain, Leatherheads throws the equivalent of a cinematic touchdown.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Jim EmersonFilm fans used to speculate about whether Clooney could become the Cary Grant of our time, and now we know he's our Clark Gable and William Holden and Dean Martin, too.
PopMatters - 8/10 by Bill GibronYou've got to give Clooney credit for trying, especially when most of Leatherheads is a jaunty, jazz age dream.
eFilmCritic.com - 8/10 by Peter Sobczynski"Leatherheads" is a profoundly unprofound film that really doesn't have anything on its mind other than to give audiences a couple of hours of giggly fun.
