I also had seen the same box – the one with the comical picture with all the football guys wearing the funny old-style leather helmets and George Clooney with a black eye. I said to myself “Self, that is probably one funny movie.” Especially since I remember the movie trailer, where someone clobbers George in the face knocking him not just down, but first UP into the air off of his feet. And then of course down. Anyway, I had thought then “Any movie with George Clooney getting smacked that hard, and then displaying the (evidently) resulting shiner for the REST of the movie has GOT to be funny.” (Not that I have anything against George Clooney – I loved him in “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”). It’s just that these movie trailers and boxes and advertisements and websites and whatnot ALL say the same thing: “This is a great movie. You don’t want to miss this one!” Except that last part probably sounds more like the old side-show huckster: “Ya don wanna miss thisun, mister! Step right up!” It’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf X about 30 million movies. Then again, I personally have not yet wasted an hour of my life on Leatherheads, so I appreciate the candid review hereabouts.
