Intolerable Cruelty

Synopsis

George Clooney is Miles Massey, a divorce lawyer so good that there is a prenum named after him. Catherine Zeta-Jones (aka golddigger Marylin)'s husband uses Miles as the divorce lawyer, leaving Marylin with nothing. She then sets out to get $$ again by marrying yet more millionaires and then divorcing them. Along the way, she tries to get her revenge on Miles.

What I Thought

This was a very funny and enjoyable movie. The different divorce situations are quite humorous, slightly twisted (in the Cohen Brothers' style), and move the movie along. Catherine Z-J is absolutely stunning in this movie, she appears to float in every scene. Clooney seems to get quirky characters from the Cohens--in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" he had a hair thing, and in this movie he has a teeth thing--vanity is a funny thing when superbly played by Clooney.

Not much more for me to say, except that I was TRYING to go see Scary Movie III and it was sold out. I'm very happy I found this movie instead. Go see it!
