2008 * PG-13 * Comedy
George Clooney * John Krasinski * Renee Zellweger
I love football. I love movies. I love period pieces or historical movies. All that being said, I really wasn't looking forward to seeing this movie. Here's a dirty little secret about me: I don't like George Clooney. Or Renee Zellweger either. As far as Clooney goes, his roles seem to lack heart and/or soul to me. But I kind of liked this movie. It was an enjoyable little movie. I think the word that comes to mind when I think of this film is...charm. It had it. It also had folksy wit, wisdom and one liners. There are about 50 funny, quick one liners that range from smirk inducing to laugh out loud funny. The music in the movie is terrific. There is some definite Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin type imagery that I really enjoyed. I hope you pick up on it. If not, go watch more movies. So my final thoughts are...if you are excited about this movie, then see it. If you are not sure, then I'd give it a pass.

Hey, Matt. Thanks for the review. This is the only movie that I've even considered lately, so maybe now I'll have to go and see it!!
Love, Betsy
