Underrated gem for fans of film history. If you liked Hudsucker Proxy then you will like this. A fun farce with an old school romantic foundation.

I wouldn't have commented, except that I read too many reviews that mislead potential movie watchers.This movie is exactly what it portents to be. A good comedy. It's not a classic, but well worth your time. You'll enjoy it.Clooney is excellent, and CZJ is the perfect counterpart. Plenty of recognizable names that seem to enjoy being involved, without the need to have huge billings...Too bad these other reviewers can't just appreciate a fun movie. Don't pass on this movie, you'll be missing some good entertainment.

A surprisingly smart comedy from Joel and Ethan Cohen, INTOLERABLE CRUELTY is a deft and entertaining comedy about the relationship that develops between a fast talking attorney (George Clooney) and a man-eating gold digger (Catherine Zeta-Jones)who pretty much eats husbands for lunch. This delightful throwback to the Tracy-Hepburn, Grant-Russell comedies of the 30's and 40's moves at a nice pace and is anchored by a razor sharp performance by Clooney, who has rarely been more appealing on screen. Clooney does everything right here and his performance alone makes this film worth seeing, but Zeta-Jones never allows herself to be overshadowed by him in one of her more venomous characterizations. Worthwhile bits are also contributed by Geoffrey Rush, Billy Bob Thornton, Richard Jenkins, and Edward Herrmann. One of the most underrated comedies ever made which is a definite must-see for Clooney fans.
