Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
There's a jaunty score by Randy Newman, and Clooney, as always, has charm to burn, but here, he's off his game.

Maybe the film loses a little steam as it rolls along, but it is still puffing and tooting as Clooney and Zellweger ride off into the sunset.

rotten:
Tragically, Leatherheads is just OK, though the film may well find an audience among those eager for a little diversion, what with the nostalgia factor and the George Clooney factor.

fresh:
Leatherheads is a romp with some great chemistry between the leads and enough laughs and surprises to keep you entertained.

rotten:
The movie gets lots of things right, yet it fumbles key facets so badly that you simply can't christen it the gridiron version of 'His Girl Friday'.
