Galaxy Drive-in / Leatherheads

Took girls to drive-in. Weather was cool but very nice. Crowded. Long lines until after movie started. Had hamburgers but no french fries available. Had Chilly Dillies! The layout and service and concession stand still are a nightmare that can't be fixed. Bottlenecks at the cash registers and condiment bar because he intentionally narrowed down the space.

George Clooney's Leatherheads is a disappointment. Shows how hard it is it to write, direct and pace comedy (see On the Twentieth Century, His Girl Friday and The Philadelphia Story for watchable movies liberally borrowed from for this one.) Clooney, the director, should have told Clooney, the actor, to do more with character than "Clooney-isms" for bits of business. Renee Zellweger, the tough as nails newspaper women, is no Rosalind Russell. I kept wondering why Julia Roberts did reprise her Ocean's role in this movie.
