Review of Intolerable Cruelty (2003) by James M — 05 Jan 2014
I'm a big fan of the Coen Brothers work, but this is without doubt their weakest film (yes, it's worse than The Ladykillers).
George Clooney does his tiresome Cary Grant act as a divorce lawyer who wins a case against gold-digger Catherine Zeta-Jones, who then plots her revenge, double-crossing him for his fortune.
You'd think Zeta-Jones would be perfect casting for a gold-digger but I simply found her character absolutely grotesque- perhaps it's because I think she's an utter bitch in real life.
If you're not a fan of the Coen's avoid this. I'd recommend it only to the hardcore fans of that odious Welsh harlot.
