Leatherheads (PG)

| George Clooney and Renee Zellweger star in romantic comedy Leatherheads |
Oscar winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger match wits in Leatherheads, a quick-witted romantic comedy set against the backdrop of America's pro-football league in 1925.
Clooney, who also directs, 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 favourite son.
But the new champ seems almost too good to be true, and in a role specially written for her by Clooney, Zellweger plays journalist Lexie Littleton, who aims to dish the dirt on Carter.
But while she digs, the two
teammates start to become
serious off-field rivals for her fickle affections.
