| SYNOPSIS |
 Intolerable Cruelty is a romantic comedy about a man who wins in court and a woman who courts to win.
Clooney portrays Miles Massey, a prominent Los Angeles divorce attorney who has everything—and in some cases, two of everything. Despite his impressive client list, a formidable win record, the respect of his peers and an ironclad contract (the "Massey pre-nup") named after him, he's reached a crossroads in his life. Sated on success, boredom has set in and he's looking for new challenges.
All that changes when Miles meets his match in the devastating Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones). Marylin is the soon-to-be ex-wife of his client Rex Rexroth (Edward Herrmann), a wealthy real estate developer and habitual philanderer. With the help of hard charging private investigator Gus Petch (Cedric The Entertainer), she has Rex nailed and is looking forward to the financial independence a successful divorce will bring. But
thanks to Miles' considerable skills, she ends up with nothing.
Not to be outdone, Marylin schemes to get even and as part of her plan, quickly marries oil tycoon Howard Doyle (Billy Bob Thornton). Miles and his unflappable associate, Wrigley (PAUL ADELSTEIN), unwittingly dig themselves in deeper and deeper as they go head-to-head with Marylin. Underhanded tactics, deceptions and an undeniable attraction escalate as Marylin and Miles square off in this classic battle of the sexes.

What happened?
I was so looking forward to this film!
I was so jazzed about this film I took 3 other people with me.
All the films by the Joel and Ethan Coen are so unusual.
I mean, out of the box stuff.
Remember: O Brother Where Art Thou?
Amazing!
Remember: Raising Arizona?
Like wow!
But then, this!
Painful. Few laughs. Lots of rambling dialogue.
To be fair, it was interesting on some level, and had a nice plot twist.
And, love wins out in the end.
However, that's about all I can say that is positive.
I was otherwise disappointed.
Oh well, ya can't have a perfect record all the time.
Did I miss something?
Was there some important element I overlooked?
Perhaps someone out there in cyberspace can help me out.
