Poor material makes even the decent chemistry between George Clooney and Renee Zellwegger really nothing.The story is about 1925 college football, or is it beyond college? That point is really not established and at times becomes confusing.While you do get a feel for the roaring twenties period, the writing is ridiculous as Renee Zellwegger, a reporter, tries to get the goods on a football hero who is also a war hero.Some of the scenes, especially running away from a speak-easy raid and jumping off a building into a net are ridiculous. The picture is nothing more than a cheap ripoff of a bygone era filled with clichés which eventually run themselves into the ground.
