Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 03 Apr 2008

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…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Edward Havens (184) for FilmJerk.com (622) on 03 Apr 2008

To call something a screwball comedy instead of just a comedy is to add an extra level of farcical expectations all too easy to not meet…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 02 Apr 2008

It's the equivalent of a busted play, with the players scrambling in different directions, making any kind of forward progress nearly impossible…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Adam Fendelman (235) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 02 Apr 2008

The film's disjointedness would be acceptable except that it causes inconsistency with its overall pace and rhythm…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Eugene Novikov (936) for Film Blather (908) on 02 Apr 2008

For something that was pitched as a screwball comedy, Leatherheads is kind of lumbering, unwieldy, and awkward…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 02 Apr 2008

Leatherheads lacks flair and pizzazz. Like a highly touted No. 1 draft pick who flops, it is all potential without substance…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Erik Childress (902) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 02 Apr 2008

It seems as if the MPAA unfairly upped a clear PG movie into a PG-13…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Willie Waffle (1,383) for WaffleMovies.com (1,380) on 02 Apr 2008

A madcap romp full of laughs and verbal gymnastics, but the movie becomes too serious towards the end…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for Combustible Celluloid (2,644) on 02 Apr 2008

Comes across as a pale period piece, an imitation enamored of energy and enthusiasm, but failing to generate either…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Sean O'connell (919) for Filmcritic.com (3,164) on 02 Apr 2008

Hangs so close to films produced during a forgotten age that audiences who don't recall how quick-witted screwball comedies used to be might…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 02 Apr 2008

A loopy Roaring Twenties screwball comedy, executed with confidence…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for BrianOrndorf.com (1,055) on 02 Apr 2008

Executed with a fizzy bang that Clooney pulls off with a prohibition stupor and some knee-slapping generosity; the man knows how to stage a…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Amy Nicholson (961) for I.E. Weekly (269) on 02 Apr 2008

Just as robot scientists describe the uncanny valley effect, the more Clooney tries to be Clark Gable, the wider the gulf appears between them…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Colin Covert (1,936) for Minneapolis Star Tribune (2,416) on 02 Apr 2008

Drawing from movies rather than life, Leatherheads often feels like a likable exercise in retro style rather than a film with a compelling…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 02 Apr 2008

It would have been interesting to see what the Coen Brothers would have made of this project…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Chris Farnsworth (29) for E! Online (838) on 02 Apr 2008

A good-natured throwback to the days of screwball comedy, the movie is at its best away from the playing field…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Jeff Vice (1,455) for Deseret News (Salt Lake City) (1) on 02 Apr 2008

It's surprisingly, refreshingly effective at times, and it is old-fashioned in several respects…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 02 Apr 2008

Like the 1925 ragtag professional football team it follows, this movie has more high spirits than ability to deliver…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Josh Bell (1,421) for Las Vegas Weekly (1,340) on 02 Apr 2008

The back-and-forth zing is what saves Leatherheads from being terminally dull…

Review of Leatherheads (2008)

By Matt Pais (1,519) for Metromix.com (1,085) on 02 Apr 2008
