Review of Intolerable Cruelty (2003) by Ashley H — 05 Mar 2009

I thought the Coen Brothers took a look at divorce court lawyers' lives in this comedy with a twist was actually pretty interesting. The script was first-rate, they sure can write, the direction was interesting for the most part, although film did lose intensity at parts.

I thought the acting was great, especially George Clooney who I liked a lot in the lead. He was perfectly casted for this role. Catherine Zeta-Jones was decent, and she pulled off her role. I thought that Geoffrey Rush and Billy Bob Thornton were great in their supporting roles.

Cedric the Entertainer was wasted here. The film was decent, some good acting, script, decent direction, and nice atmosphere.
