I tried SO hard to like it, but could not….
I saw an advance screening of Leatherheads at NYU Movies101 last night.

I was so excited when it was announced that this movie was being shown.

I settled in my seat ready to enjoy another great movie that George Clooney directs and acts in.

All during the film, I thought to myself “Is it just me, or is this movie going nowhere?”. I was trying SO hard to like it.

Well, it wasn’t just me. I was surprised to see about ¾ of the full house of people I saw it with feel the same way, even the hosting professor.

As discussed after the screening, it had Top-Notch Scenic Design, Sound Track (by Randy Newman), Editing, Acting (Renee Zellweger was fabulous), Directing, Costumes, and Cinematography. It did not have a good story, and that is what made it fail. The script was written in the 1980’s by two sports writers. Clooney has been carrying it around with him for over 2 decades. I suspect that the script was pretty much left the script alone from its origin.

The concept of the story is great, but the writing was horrible. Maybe George Clooney thought that the concept and grandeur would “carry” the film? It was disappointing to see George Clooney in a movie that did not compliment him in anyway. He does do comedy well, as he did in “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”. How can you act well with terrible material? George’s Directing was great.
