Leatherheads…

Last night I attend the preview of the new George Clooney movie Leatherheads with Ms. A. We were just walking into take our seats and the radio personality from the station sponsering the event (130.9 with Mark the Shark is much better!) was asking if anyone had a birthday in April and if they did please stand up. Ms. A of course will be celebrating her birthday in a couple of days so when we arrived at our seats she remained standing. The personality, I use this term very loosely, narrowed the field down to those who had a birthday in April 1-15th. Of course Ms. A had no idea why she was standing and lucky they did not decide to stone the 6 or so people with birthdays during this time. She actually won a prize, a Leatherheads T-shirt and ball cap. That Ms. A, she has all the luck.

The movie finally started after some crappy sports trivia. The witty quick exchanges between Clooney’s character and Renee Zelwinger’s character were amusing. I smile a few times and even laughed out loud a couple of times. The dude from The Office is not bad to look at for two hours. However, the best part of the music was the 1920’s music that fill the background noise. I believe you would have to be a football fan to get much from this movie (and I am one), I would not pay full price for it. If anything wait for it to go to the $1 movie or check it out at your local library once it hits DVD. Overall I give the movie a “C”. Ms. A put it well as the movie ended and we were walking out, “It wasn’t life changing.” Indeed Ms. A, indeed.
