Intolerable Cruelty (2003) 7/10

Starring : George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Geoffrey Rush, Cedric The Entertainer, Billy Bob Thornton
Director : Joel Cohen
Running Time : 100 mins

Well known and wealthy lawyer Miles Massey (Clooney) bites off more than he can chew when he gets married to recently divorced Marylin Rexroth(Zeta-Jones), thinking that she is rich, only to discover that she has no money and plans on divorcing him for a massive cash settlement.

This was actually pretty entertaining, in spite of a weak middle section of the film. People who enjoyed movie like Heartbreakers or Down With Love will enjoy the biting wit and well observed performances in this black comedy, particularly from Clooney himself. There's a nice opening scene with Geoffrey Rush that, although perhaps not that necessary, helps to establish the kind of people we as an audience will be dealing with.
