George Clooney not only starred in this slapstick comedy, he also directed it. The movie may not win any awards, but it is enjoyable to watch. Since the movie took place in 1925, the writers took us back to that time, and slapstick was the rule. If you let yourself go and get into the movie, you will actually get the feel of that era. George is very talented, but I don't think he has a flair for comedy. Renee Zellweger and George share a chemistry together that works well for this movie. You may think this is a chick flick, but you would be somewhat wrong. The love angle doesn't really get going until the end. You will love the way they play pro football with very few rules, especially, the last game that is played in the mud. This is a cute movie, and I know they had a lot of fun making it, because it shows.Read full review
The movie was truly a piece of fluff, and I knew that going in, so I wasn't disappointed. It gave me a few chuckles and a few of my friends joked about how the movie makers should have used me as an extra since I played football wearing leather helmet. (Note: I'm only 60.). Seriously, it was worth the price of the movie. Enjoy it, it has some entertainment value. It''s not an all time great comedy, but it'll do.

Though this film is successful with taking you back in time (and brings to mind some great oldies) and we enjoyed watching it, it's not one of those movies that you are dying to add to your home collection right after you've seen it. There's some delightfully amusing, fast-paced dialog between George Clooney's character, Dodge Connelly, and Renée Zellweger's character, Lexie Littleton. Add Carter Rutherford played by John Krasinski to the mix and you have a splendid cast of sympathetic characters that are sure to please. With a unique plot and some interesting twists, this movie was fun and entertaining. However, it's not one that stays with you long after it's over.
I like the movie. That's the only reason I bought it !!!!!!!!!
