Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Intolerable Cruelty2 Out Of 5Intolerable Cruelty is merely an attempt by Coen to offer a rom-com in its own tone that unfortunately never communicates with the audience. The scrutiny in here is so obvious and predictably dull that the audience finds themselves waiting for the makers to attain a closure that makes its 100 minutes feel like ages especially when the makers and the audience are sweating to be funny and to crack a smile respectively. It is short on technical aspects like background score, sound department and editing. An urge to create the sketchy comic sequences and somehow managing to create the intense drama along with it, fails on all levels here. The script is all distraction and nothing concrete on terms of the material offered to the audience, addition to that it derails quickly into a misleading lane and crashes in its self-created ideology and hypocrisy. It comes off as a shock considering it came from Joel Coen, since it barely has an piece of craft to explore in here especially the forcibly installed humor which clearly isn't funny. It is poorly performed by George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones, but then they weren't offered enough range to sink their teeth in their one dimensional characters. Intolerable Cruelty is an overstuffed and undercooked on its plot and characters, leaving the audience disappointed rather than being angry.

A very successful lawyer wins a very hard infidelity case against a woman with whom he falls in love but he must be aware that he's facing with a rare type of ruthless gold digger.It's a comedy which features the endless struggles between extremely wealthy men and their beloved wives who are willing to do anything for their fortune. The actors are very charismatic and create a hilarious atmosphere with every apparition. As you would expect it is based on a simple idea and as a result, the plot is pretty linear and predictable but with a couple of dramatic turnovers. It is very enjoyable nevertheless!

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.

What do you say after watching this film? You just say it was so cool and interesting! It is a light comedy to put you in a good mood. Two principal actors George Clooney and Cathrine Zeta Jones simply shine in this film. They acted in many films but this one shows well their extraordinary talent and beauty. Well done you two! Other actors are excellent as well. Train lover, eh? Six assistants in riding a choo choo? Loved the idea! Plot is light, just as it should be in a comedy like this one.I strongly recommend that you watch this film. It is just such a fun! It will make your evening pass easier, it certainly did mine.
