Leatherheads

Dressed in 1920s attire, George Clooney and Renee Zellwegger began their Leatherheads tour with an appearance at the old Depot, in downtown Duluth. Now, we finally get to see the film. Directed by Clooney himself, Leatherheads offers a comedic tribute to the early days of pro football. Determined to keep his team alive after they lose their sponsor, Dodge Connelly — played by Clooney — brings in a college football star, better known as a local war hero, to recapture the country’s attention. Zellwegger, who plays a budding journalist, suspicious of the war hero’s too-good-to-be-true tales, take it upon herself to defraud the team, but in doing so somehow manages to make both men fall hopelessly in love with her. How will Dodge keep his team alive and get the girl? Go and see.
