Plot Summary: Oscar® winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger match wits in Leatherheads, a quick-witted romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America's nascent pro-football league in 1925.

Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a charming, brash football hero who is determined to guide his team from bar brawls to packed stadiums. But after the players lose their sponsor and the entire league faces certain collapse, Dodge convinces a college football star to join his ragtag ranks. The captain hopes his latest move will help the struggling sport finally capture the country's attention.

Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski), America's favorite son. A golden-boy war hero who single-handedly forced multiple German soldiers to surrender in WWI, Carter has dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. This new champ is almost too good to be true, and Lexie Littleton (Zellweger) aims to prove that's the case.

A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who suspects there are holes in Carter's war story. But while she digs, the two teammates start to become serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections.

As the new game of pro-football becomes less like the freewheeling sport he knew and loved, Dodge must both fight to keep his guys together and to get the girl of his dreams. Finding that love and football have a surprisingly similar playbook, however, he has one maneuver he will save just for the fourth quarter...

I can't believe there are no comments for this movie. I think it looks like another piece of good work from George Clooney. I don't even mind that Renee Zellweger is in it, even though she shouldn't be in anything.

If they show Renee in her underware, then the movie is worth the price of admission.

Who plays the character Bugs in the movie? What size of part is it?

Bug is played by Nick Bourdages, a local kid from DeKalb, IL. It's his first movie role, in fact his first professional role of any kind. On a whim he showed up at an open casting call in Chicago and kept getting called back until he got the part. It's a great story, I can't wait to see him in the movie.

the football scenes should be the most authentic and accurate in cinema history

Yes, I was just told from my mother that my grandfather was a Leatherhead. His name was George Hall. Is there anyway Ican found more about the players to see if this is so? Thank you Sherry
