It's painfully ironic that George Clooney would allow that line to be in "Leatherheads", as it is the perfect description of the movie. It is a sports comedy that isn't funny or about football. The plot goes far askew with leaden subplots about relationships and deceptions, but worst of all fails to keep anyone's attention. I fell asleep for 15 minutes without missing anything (I never sleep during movies, btw). My wife and I would have left (and we never leave movies), but we were in the middle of the back row and would have disturbed a bunch of people. In hindsight we might have done them a favor.
Too talky, too slow, and in desperate need of a good editor, "Leatherheads" is a flop. If you must see it, wait and rent so you can take a break and decide if it's worth trading 2 hours of your life you'll never get back.
