As usual, George Clooney is charming, mischievous and gets the girl. Renee Zellweger has already played period women who are outside the norm, happy with their single hood (but secretly waiting for the right man.) The 60s and Victorian England suited her just as well.

There's a cast of regulars that are in Clooney's oddballs, but John Krasinski pulled off the lovable jock, just trying to live with the story that gets bigger everyday. People that are so used to "Jim" will like the turn to a very different character.

How true was this story to the beginning of the NFL? Not a bad directorial debut, it was cute and funny, I did like it, although, I think I remember it being a really soft release?
