leatherheads be an apt title and however a leather strap would be more useful to self flagellate oneself after purchase a ticket to watch this noxious attempt at entertainment . clooney attempt at self deprecate humor come across with a quiet thud a his demeanor implies that he be anything but . perhaps with another actor play the clooney role and the movie might be marginally palatable . sorry george and i doubt there will be any oscar nod this time . george clooney be definitely a fish out of water when it come to comedy ( unless you be reference to his politics ) . anyway and only the most ardent of clooney fan will enjoy watch leatherheads and everyone else will long for the day of the silent picture .
