DVD Synopsis
Oscar® winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger match wits in Leatherheads, a rapid-fire sports comedy. Clooney plays Dodge Connolly, a swaggering, aging 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. Welcome to the team Carter Rutherford (John Krasinski), a golden-boy war hero, with dashing good looks and unparalleled speed on the field. But if Dodge thinks this new champ is too good to be true, then Lexie Littleton (Zellweger) can prove that’s the case. A cub journalist playing in the big leagues, Lexie is a spitfire newswoman who sniffs holes in Carter’s war story. While she digs, however, the two teammates become off-field rivals for attention. As the hilarious rivalry grows, Dodge fights to get the girl while he tries to keep his guys together. One thing is certain for Connelly … he knows that you always keep one final play from the defense.

“Question. What has two thumbs, loves George Clooney, Rene Zellweger and football? This guy!”
“Ok, let’s see. Love Clooney, but not too excited about football. Not a big football fan. Think I’ll pass.”
Jim relates to Carter in that he’s in a situation (working at Dunder Mifflin) that he can’t get out of.
Yes, Jim would enjoy Leatherheads. Unlike Ryan, Jim doesn’t have to pretend to know the rules of football.
Yes. Jim is a sports guy. The punching scene could inspire him to prank Dwight, much like slap face.
Pam would gush over how he looks like Carter. Michael would idolize Jim for weeks.
Sure, because Pam would convince him to watch it (so she can watch George Clooney).
YES because it’s:
1.)A football movie.
2.)A screwball comedy.
3.)A chance to make fun of Renee Zellweger.
Win-win…win!
As a sports fan and aspiring sportswriter, Jim would like “Leatherheads.” He’d appreciate the witty banter.
Jim is hesitant about Leatherheads because of Renee Zellweger, but ultimately decides it’s a cozy date night with Pam.
Jim would not like the movie because Michael made them watch the movie 3 times during his “Movie Monday” sessions at the Office, and cracked himself up by singing in a high falsetto– “You had me at hello” everytime Rene Zelwegger came on screen.
Jim would like Leatherheads because it combines sports, comedy and a little romance.
“Philly Jim” would enjoy Leatherheads. He and Pam would make it an unforgettable date night movie!
Jim would hate it because it would remind him of where he works…love triangles and a crazy manager.
Watching Carter, Dodge, and Lexie would remind Jim of “fighting” for Pam with Roy; thus he would not like Leatherheads.
As a die hard Eagles fan, Jim would love Leatherheads.
I think he would watch it because Pam thinks that Carter is cute, and he wants to make her happy.
Jim is sporty and funny, of course he’d like it! :)
I dont think jim would like the movie because he is more into basketball.
Jim would like Leatherheads because it’s not Legally Blonde. He would have a good time trying to convince Dwight that Carter was his long lost alien brother.
