Intolerable Cruelty

(Widescreen Edition)

George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Geoffrey Rush and Cedric the Entertainer

(DVD - 2004)

A sleek George Clooney and a seductive Catherine Zeta-Jones square off magnificently in the divorce comedy Intolerable Cruelty. The plot is simple: Lawyer supreme Miles Massey (Clooney, Out of Sight, Ocean's Eleven) skillfully outmaneuvers gold-digger Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones, Chicago, Traffic) when she divorces her wealthy husband--and she sets out to get revenge. But this movie comes from the creative minds of the Coen Brothers (Fargo, Raising Arizona, O Brother Where Art Thou?), and so Intolerable Cruelty includes a Scottish wedding chapel in Vegas, an asthmatic hit man, fluffy-dog-stroking European nobility, and a legendarily unbreakable pre-nuptial agreement. Still, it's pretty restrained for the Coens; smooth and consistent, it never stumbles as disappointingly as their movies can, but also never quite hits the operatic pitch of their best work. It's still damn funny, though, with top-notch performances from the leads as well as Geoffrey Rush, Cedric the Entertainer, and Billy Bob Thornton.

Quotes

Rex: My wife has me between a rock and a hard place.
Miles Massey: That's her job. You should respect that.

Trivia

• The suits worn in this film by George Clooney were modeled almost exactly on the suit worn by Cary Grant in Indiscreet.
• Marilyn's line, "Dismiss your vows, your feigned tears, your flattery / for where a heart is hard they make no battery" is from Shakespeare's poem, Venus and Adonis.
• Miles's line, "Whoever loved that loved not at first sight" is from Christopher Marlowe's poem "Hero and Leander".

Goofs

• Ice floats at the top of a drink, it does not sink to the bottom of the glass as is shown in at least one scene.
• In Miles Massey's first meeting with Marilyn Rexroth, Marilyn's necklace is hanging slightly off centre. In the next shot, it is hanging perfectly. The necklace moves in these two positions for the next few shots.
