Leatherheads Good Reviews
- RogerEbert.com (3/4): Leatherheads Review
- "Clooney's a team player, and his generosity toward his collaborators, as an actor and a director, shines throughout the movie."
- Rolling Stone (3/4): Leatherheads Review
- "In his third shot at directing, following two savvy meditations on media and politics (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Good Night, and Good Luck), Clooney throws us a rowdy party of a movie."
- ReelViews (3/4): Leatherheads Review
- "...a pleasant enough comedy - one of those movies that offers plenty of smiles and warmhearted chuckles but no big belly laughs. The dialogue in particular is rich and witty, and delivered in a rat-a-tat fashion that demands perfect timing."
- Newsday.com (3/4): Leatherheads Review
- "Once upon a time, Hollywood produced smart, light comedies like this as a matter of course. These days, Leatherheads seems like a gift."
- The Austin Chronicle: Leatherheads Review
- "...a loving nod to the screwballs of yore; good-looking, appropriately scored, and well-acted; and possessing of a handful of truly transportive moments. It's awfully agreeable &mdash so why doesn't it entirely work?"
- San Jose Mercury News (B): Leatherheads: Clooney and Team Score a TD
- "Artificial as "Leatherheads"' sometimes gets, it's grounded in modern screen naturalism. As in all of Clooney's directing efforts, there's also an ethical seriousness at its core."
Leatherheads Neutral Reviews
- Variety: Leatherheads Review
- "...aims only to please and proves perfectly amiable, but ultimate effect is one of much energy expended to minimal payoff."
- The Hollywood Reporter: Leatherheads Review
- "Clooney and co-star Renee Zellweger certainly will lure customers, but story weaknesses and ill-defined characters will challenge their most ardent fans to root for anything other than a swift ending."
- EW.com (C): Leatherheads Review
- "The dialogue drags no matter how fast Clooney and Zellweger rattle off their he-said-she-said lines in a studious imitation of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell."
- Village Voice: Leatherheads Never Gets Past 'Promising'
- "...for its entire two hours, Leatherheads is rarely less than very promising&mdashand also rarely more."
- Slate: Illegal Use of Hands
- "Leatherheads is better than a finger in your eye. It's a perfectly passable, if instantly forgettable, date movie..."
Leatherheads Bad Reviews
- The New York Times: Leatherheads Review
- "What is harder to comprehend is how Mr. Clooney turned out such a sloppy, haphazard and tonally incoherent piece of work."
- The Arizona Republic (2.5/5): Leatherheads Review
- "If nothing else, Leatherheads answers the question: Can George Clooney do no wrong? Yes, evidently."
- Newsweek: Fumble, by George
- "The great '30s comedies had edge, bite and relentless forward momentum. Leatherheads is laid-back, amiable and terminally tepid."
