    Leatherheads

    Went and saw this with my girlfriend last night...

    Very good movie if you like quirky, witty dialog.

    Anyone else see it?

      Going to see it this coming weekend. On Letterman Clooney said he didn't like John Krasinski (Jim on The Office).

        That's weird, did he say why?

          Wasn't too specific, muttered something about "not getting it" I think. Rumors are that "Leatherheads" is going to his head and he is being difficult on the set of "The Office".

            It's a running joke. The three main actors in the movie have been going back and forth, just like they do in the movie (apparently, I've not seen the movie).

              Yeah I was just trying to play it up. Rainn Wilson said that Krasinski converted a "double banger trailer" that they both shared into one for himself by knocking a hole in the wall, and kicking Wilson out. Apparently Steve Carell lets Rainn stay in his "toilet area".

                I haven't seen it but I think this movie will be up my alley. Those of you who are raving about the dialog would be shocked to learn that this movie is a throwback to the screwball comedies of the 1930s in style. I've heard that this movie is HIS GIRL FRIDAY with football as the main subject.

                Oh and one good thing about this movie being made? I found out that Clooney is a long suffering fan of the Bengals LOL!

                  This movie really bombed this weekend.
                  I just read on Yahoo that is had a horrible opening weekend and is going lose millions.

                    I did not like this movie AT ALL. Saw it Friday night... little to no plot, little to no humor (95% is shown in the trailers) and really not even that much football.

                      This movie looks really stupid. I guess Clooney was due for a bomb. I just hate to see the Office guy bomb on his first time out though.

                              Our dollar theaters no longer exist in this area. Surprised they're still around.

                              As Clooney said the "screwball comedy" was difficult to do and IMO difficult to sell. Bottom line, it didn't get the younger crowd involved and that's what you need for box office success.
