What???
I was looking forward to a fun comedy about the early days of Professional Football and I got... um, what?
I am a fan of John Krasinski and Stephen Root, but not even they could bring life to this movie that seemed to be full of twists that weren't fun but just leaving me with the feeling of "What?"
I didn't find any of the characters appealing, nor worth carrying about it. Actually, I got to the point of wanting to fast forward it to the end just so that I could say that I watched it from beginning to end, but I did. I'm glad that I only rented it and didn't buy it like I had intended to do.
There are other things I could say about this film, but I won't. I'll leave that to you who watch it.
The good is bad and the bad is good.

OK on DVD not in the theater
I expected more comedy and a gritty football story.
Don't buy the Blu-ray, not worth the extra dollar.

Charming and light
Nothing very remarkable going on with this movie, it is about what you would expect it to be. A charming period piece about the early years of professional football. Maybe it was just the mood I was in, but I did enjoy this movie. Clooney was charming and humorous as ever, and Zellweger was enjoyable in her role as well. A good light comedy.

Yes, not so bad as they said. And music is great.
I watched this movie on a bus. Before that, I thought I would never like it--all guys, football, 1920s...But it was fun! It's charming, humorous, and mild too--not sharp, spicy, or bitter--is that why many here are disappointed with it? It was totally fun for a 2-hour bus ride.People laughed out loud on the bus. And btw the sound track is great if you like old-styled jazz.

Not the best Football Movie
In a movie about football there's surprisingly little football. Or at least nothing I really cared to watch.
This is another Clooney movie where he is both an actor and the director, but unlike Good Night and Good Luck I didn't really care too much about what was going on.
Clooney is a man who really wants to keep professional football going and must find a way for that to happen. He manages to recruit the best player in college football, Carter Rutherford. In addition to that he's also a WWI hero. But is he really? Added to that mix is Lexie Littleton, a reporter, who is trying to figure out if Rutherford is really all he's made out to be.
Through this whole movie it just goes. I mean there's not much comedy, there's not much romance, there's not much football. There's not much of anything to really keep you glued to your seat. The actors in this movie are really talented so maybe it was the script. I don't know. The ending wasn't what I expected and frankly...I wouldn't have gone with that ending.
Watch it if you want. But it's not a must see movie.
