"Leatherheads"

On the other hand, Matt and I went to see Leatherheads last night, and it was a bit disappointing. It started out strong, but then it seemed to lose it's way. There were a lot of scenes in the middle that didn't connect that well with the movie's set up, almost like they had made two movies and spliced them together. Not a waste of time, though - terrific evocation of the period (1925), and all the performances were good. Though Renee Zellweger should lay off the botox, seriously. Her character claims to be 31 in the movie (maybe it was a joke, it was hard to tell), but in reality, she was 38 when the movie was made and just turned 39. Hardly over the hill, and I think she'd look a lot better if she would age a little more gracefully.
