Absolutely Fantastic
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
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)
This movie is a hilarious, searing caricature of divorce lawyers. Unfortunately most of the bad reviews you're reading are from people who clearly didn't get any of the jokes. If you're at all familiar with divorce and lawyers you'll be rolling.Is it predictable... parts of it are meant to be predictable although there is a hilarious twist. It's meant to be about the ride, not necessarily about the ingenuity of the plot twist, which there is. In short, Clooney plays a divorce lawyer totally in love with himself. He earns a ton of money and will clearly make up anything he can in order to win a case for his clients, even go so far as to the ridiculous. The facts aren't important - only what the jury believes the facts are. Catherine Zeta Jones plays a sly sexy woman whose sole goal is to be like the other shallow women in the movie - to marry a rich husband and catch them in some act of wrongdoing so that they can leave with lots of money.The courtroom scenes are hysterical. There are parts that are accurate and others are clearly caricatures, purely for laughs lampooning the truth of what really does go on in courtrooms. If you enjoy smart, highbrow humor, you may enjoy this film. If you also have a legal background, you'll probably love this film.
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.
George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones anchor a strong cast, but ultimately only elevate this film to B-grade. The tone of the storytelling jumps from real to screwball, as if a smart version and a stupid version of the story were filmed at the same time and then edited together at random. George Clooney in Las Vegas; what a novel concept. And Catherine Zeta-Jones married to someone a quarter-century older stretches credibility a bit (no, wait, perhaps that is plausible). For an optimal viewing experience, watch this movie somewhere in the middle of your Coen Brothers movie marathon. Also recommended: popcorn and a beverage, a mid-movie intermission, or some other mild distractions to break up the slightly bloated 100 minute running time.
