The king's team produces beautiful and bad films

Wanted to write a review before reading it, but this time it's serious.
Leatherheads have a king's team, and you can quickly understand from the beauty and detail of the film's graphics.
The opening chapter was very exciting, but halfway through, I made a rash judgment: another elizabeth, another attempted drama that fell into star superstition, and a historical stain on gc.
The idea of ​​this script can be a big play, the team is quite strong, and the work (without the word creation) attitude is very serious. Unfortunately, another Hollywood-style mediocre work was born.
I didn't feel the atmosphere, I didn't feel the story, it was basically a sketch by Mr. gc.
In an attempt to restore the star-centered model of Hollywood in the 1930s, replacing scenes with dialogue, etc., the charm of the stars is overdrawn and the soul of the movie itself is insufficient.
That's why I don't like this movie. By the way, it is more appropriate to suggest that gc is not as good as acting in a fine American drama. There the dialogue is more important than the story and there is far less wasted money.

    Lexie Littleton: Her bosoms, you goof! You're substituting *my* bosoms for your mother's.

    Leonard: What? No, I'm not!

    Lexie Littleton: Why not? What's wrong with my bosoms?

    Leonard: Honestly, Miss Littleton, we're in public. The rules of etiquette apply.

    Lexie Littleton: Oh, Leonard, it's 1925. There are no rules. Except that boys like you are tedious until they're forty, at which point they become *unbearably* tedious.

    Leonard: I didn't come over her to be insulted.

    Lexie Littleton: No? Where do you usually go?

  • Lexie Littleton: [as Dodge is hiding behind a magazine] And don't think just 'cause you haven't said anything that I don't know what you're up to. I'm talking to you, behind the magazine. Don't you know I could have you arrested for eavesdropping?

    Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: Excuse me?

    Lexie Littleton: Or are you really an avid reader of "Ladies Home Journal?"

    Jimmy 'Dodge' Connelly: I never miss an issue.
