Rarely tolerable.

This is a comedy of unfunny moments that were susposed to be funny although there were some sparks with George Clooney ans Catherine Zeta Jones.... Full review
Def not the best

Definitely not the cutest movie I've seen in my time. The characters did work well together, though the story wasn't really enjoyable. I didn't ever find the film to be something that I had to continue to watch. The movie was... Full review
Finally, a romantic comedy that's actually funny

Normally, when someone sets out to make a romantic comedy, they put the romance in by the bucketload. However, they forget one important thing: being a comedy, it also has to be funny. Judging from the fact that I had seen... Full review

This movie was great. Every single part of it was awesome, and it was more than worthy of my time. The typical story of boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy wins girl, was played astonishingly entertaining, and it wasn't dull... Full review

Intolerable Cruelty actually was made by the same people who made Fargo. This is hard to believe since Fargo was so good and Intolerable Cruelty was so bad. The story here is a rehash of stories that have been told in... Full review
"Air Ball" by Coens

Way short of expectations, didn't even make it to the rim! If you haven't seen this movie, do yourselves a favour - please stay home. Very weak script, embarrassingly poor humour, mediocre acting and direction not worthy of the Coens. I... Full review

Coen's mainstream: not intolerable
Jun 23, 2007
djpherdy - yahoo.com
With today's Cary Grant in the lead, what more can the Coen's do to tribute the classic screwball comedies of the 1930's? Even if it has to be done together with Brian "Liar Liar" Grazer. In this film, also about immoral... Full review

Finally, it has prevented the viewer from coming away with a perfect movie experience. The movie's only flaw keeps penetrating the mind of the theater goer. Music plays a good part in this movie too. ... Full Review

Clooney and Zeta-Jones have great chemistry and their scenes together are sheer push-me pull-me magic. Dashingly handsome Clooney is just splendid as the bored, successful lawyer trying to find the meaning of life between successful litigations, while Catherine Zeta-Jones is exquisite in every sense of the word as the man-eating Marylin. ...

New York Daily News
Here, Clooney's sharky divorce lawyer is a toothy menace in love with his own smile, and when he spots delicious Catherine Zeta-Jones 's conniving, would-be wronged wife, it's like he finally found the sauce for his goose. Other actors might balk at their character seeming so narcissistic and gleefully amoral. ... Full Review

Telegraph, UK
A tribute to 1970s screwball comedies, Intolerable Cruelty is set in a shiny, glamorous, faintly old-fashioned world, where comic characters have silly dogs and (in the men's case) sock suspenders.....Co-scripted, unusually for the Coens, with another writing team, Intolerable Cruelty irons out some of their quirks.....Piqued and smitten when he first sees her across the negotiating table, Clooney loses no time in inviting her to dinner.....His nemesis is Catherine Zeta-Jones, a siren prone to failed marria ...
