Sparks fly when brilliant divorce attorney Miles Massey (Clooney) meets his match in the beautiful but ruthless Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones). From Academy Award®-winning directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen (Fargo; O Brother, Where Art Thou?), Intolerable Cruelty also stars multi-talented Billy Bob Thornton and outrageous Cedric The Entertainer.

Critics Consensus: Though more mainstream than other Coen films, there are still funny oddball touches, and Clooney and Zeta-Jones sizzle like old-time movie stars.

Reviews

Thirty, Flirty + Film

Cate Young

"The standout by far is Catherine Zeta-Jones, who maintains such a casual aloofness throughout that it isn't hard to see why Miles is so taken with her. Marilyn's con is long, but it's worth it."

A vastly underrated Coen Brothers confection.

David Walsh

Intolerable Cruelty by the Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel, is a more consistent and pleasing work, concerning the state of American marriage and divorce among the moneyed.

A bland studio comedy with some genuinely terrific bits.

Glitz, glamour, comedy and Clooney and [ Catherine] Zeta-Jones. Undeniably the funniest and most romantically funny comedy of the year.

Common Sense Says

Screwball comedy for older teens and adults.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has some mature material for a PG-13, including adulterous situations and some mildly kinky sexual references (nothing explicit and no nudity). It has strong language for a PG-13. There is comic violence that includes guns and one character is killed. Families who have dealt with painful divorces may not find the depiction in this film very entertaining. Some viewers may be disturbed by a character who is very ill. The characters are greedy, manipulative, and unethical, all played for humor.
