Leatherheads,” George Clooney’s third directorial effort, met with mixed reviews and audience indifference.
The “Ocean’s 11″ superstar has to have some adversity in his life, right?
But it’s probably just right for a lazy afternoon rental.
“Leatherheads,” out this week on DVD, takes us back to the early days of football, and the neo-screwball comedy has its moments. They tend to happen in the first half of the film, leaving us with a rather sorry finale. My Washington Times review during its theatrical release says a bit more about the production.
“Sex and the City” needs little introduction. Suffice to say show fans gobbled up the grrrl power theatrics, while more discerning fans noted its clumsy execution. My Donne Tempo review shares my ambivalence, but I expect a sequel announcement any day now.
