Just what I expected

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A beautiful gold digger matches wits with a shrewd Beverly Hills divorce lawyer who is increasingly attracted to her. Intolerable Cruelty has an interesting Cast and a talented pair of directors unfortunately the script is terrible and just from the opening scene i knew what i was getting into and it was bad as hell. The perfomances were cheesy, the characters cartoonish and as hot as Zeta-Jones might be she can't save the movie from being a waste of time. (0/10)

Intolerable Cruelty (2003): Dir: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen / Cast: George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Billy Bob Thornton, Geoffrey Rush, Cedric the Entertainer: Dark comedy that dances between humour and drama. It contains the wit viewers expect from a Coen brothers film but it hardly compares to superior films such as Blood Simple and The Big Lebowski. George Clooney plays a successful divorce attorney and Catherine Zeta-Jones is the latest victim whose husband was caught on camera having an affair. Clooney brought victory to her husband yet she soon marries a millionaire and he sees it as a scam for his money. Very clever but the conclusion is unconvincing due to trust. Joel and Ethan Coen score again thanks to Clooney's charm and Zeta-Jones's unreadable seduction. However, are viewers to believe that this relationship will actually survive? Supporting roles had potential but they are either seldom seen or not necessary. Billy Bob Thornton is underused as the millionaire. Geoffrey Rush as an irate husband is funny yet unnecessary. Cedric the Entertainer is featured as a private investigator out nosing around. Plus his court herring brings more sorrow than humour. On one hand the film features the Coen wit but on the other the humour doesn't excel. Theme questions relationships and trust on the bounds of toleration. Score: 7 / 10

Great Movie. In our times this is the perfect story of our society that is only materially satisfied. The two most cynical people possible to imagine a jilted woman and a cynical materialistic and egotistical divorce lawyer who does not believe in love and an equally cynical woman who under the power of love fall for each other. Wonderful movie excellent comedy acting by George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones. If you have a sense of humor George Clooney will bring it out of you in this one. This movie made me go back and watch every comedy movie that George ever made. There is nothing better than a great comedy to make you forget your everyday problems and remember how ironic life is.

A madcap comedy of errors about matrimony and divorce, "Intolerable Cruelty" is simultaneously both fast-paced as well as satirical. Leading man George Clooney is the epitome of the Warner Brothers cartoon character Wile E. Coyote, while leading lady Catherine Zeta-Jones qualifies as the Road Runner. Clooney plays the sartorially elegant Miles Massey, a crackerjack divorce attorney who can always be counted on to find enough wiggle room to his clients out of virtually any predicament, and Zeta-Jones plays gold-digging vamp Marilyn Rexroth, a serial millionaire divorcée, who seems to outwit the sagacious Miles at every turn. This lightweight, often frothy, romantic comedy appropriates the theme of divorce, and it posits not surprisingly that compromise lies at the heart of marriage as an institution as well as divorce. Our fiendishly clever courtroom protagonist has drawn up the ultimate solution to every spouse's nightmare: the renowned Massey Pre-Nup, a binding, loop-hole free, pre-marital agreement contract. If you are wealthy and you don't want to split everything or worse with your spouse after either you or she has been caught in the arms of another lover, you sign the Massey Pre-Nup. As our hero informs us at one point, the Massey Pre-Nup is the subject of at least one class at the prestigious Harvard Law School.When our vain attorney lays his eyes on Marilyn for the first time in his office, Miles is smitten by this delectable doll and grovels shameless at her feet for her heart. She warns him that such behavior could serve as grounds for getting him disbarred, but he dismisses this threat as a mild inconvenience. The plot revolves around how useful the Massey Pre-Nup is where matters of the heart are concerned. Love, as it turns out, is the one thing that Miles hasn't factored into his prenuptial agreement. When our devious heroine ties the knot with a hopelessly wealthy Texas millionaire, she convinces him to tear up the pre-nup in an act of love. Literally, he eats the document. Like all good movies, "Intolerable Cruelty" comes with several surprises that keep us on our toes. Unfortunately, as much fun as it is, this Coen Brothers' effort doesn't generate the level of hilarity of either "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" or "The Big Lebowski." Nevertheless, it is worth watching and you can have a lot of fun watching it more than once. The cast is uniformly excellent that supports both Clooney and Zeta-Jones. Cedric the Entertainer plays a profane private-eye who lives for the big moment when he can catch philandering couples on video. Coen Brothers' frequent cast member Richard E. Jenkins plays Freddy Bender who acts as Marilyn's attorney. Billy Bob Thornton is amusing as Marilyn's second husband, and Jonathan Hadary steals his only scene during a courtroom sequence as Baron Krauss von Espy who sets our heroine up with likely husband prospects that she can take to the cleaners in divorce court.
