Dec 14 2007Let 'Leatherheads' Trailer Take You to Platonic Male Crush Heaven
You think George Clooney's taking any cues from his work with the Coens? The goofy hairstyles, the period setting, the fisticuffs fighting stance and subsequent cross-eyed reaction all seem familiar. Considering the uproarious love triangle story line, Clooney probably just saw Sabrina and thought it would be better with the sensibilities of O Brother, Where Art Thou? And football. Added props for having his gentlemanly referee replicate Stephen Tobolowky's punch reaction from Groundhog Day flawlessly.
I'd say he robbed the fast-talking female reporter character from Hudsucker Proxy, but I doubt Georgie would even bother to watch the Coen movies he doesn't appear in. Besides, we all know that role for Renee Zellweger and the entire movie itself were conceived merely so Clooney here could get himself some steady ex-sex. He's probably immune to that post-coital shame, too. He IS George motherfucking Clooney, after all.

I was an extra in this movie... and I still have no desire to watch it. I just did it for the pay. I do like George Clooney but I just don't give a shit about football, cheerleaders, Racing (especially street racing), or any other sports type films. They really don't make for any sort of good movie.

John Krakowski is ass overrated as the show he heralds from. If "Just Married" hasn't proven the dude has zero talent beyond the POS American Office, why would a (As Vince perfectly described) Cohen-knockoff?
