Leatherheads (2008)

.
"You're the kind of cocktail that comes on like sugar but gives you a kick in the head. The only thing you hate worse than a guy making a play is when a guy 'doesn't' make a play."

Lexie Littleton (Renée Zellweger), a sharp reporter for the Chicago Tribune, is dispatched by her editor to expose Carter "The Bullet" Rutherford (John Krasinski), who purports to be a WWI war hero who plays on one of the early pro football teams, the Duluth Bulldogs. But Jimmy "Dodge" Connelly (George Clooney, who also directed) is the captain of the team and it isn't long before Dodge and Lexie are exchanging barbs a la Hepburn and Tracy in numerous films of the past.

Run time: 1 hour, 54 minutes

Rated PG-13 for brief strong language.

My personal rating: C
