'Intolerable Cruelty' is a story about a divorce attorney falling for his client's soon to be ex-wife. What distinguishes this lawyer from all the others is that he's such incredible scum he can actually win cases when his client is caught on videocamera with his pants off doing the squelchy with a 20-year-old bimbo. What distinguishes the ex-wife is that she's pleased that her husband is cheating on her, because she only married him so she could divorce him for the money. For the rest of the movie George and Catherine play a cat and mouse game where he tries to steal her heart and she tries to steal his checking account.
Sounds funny doesn't it? Sounds like a romantic comedy, doesn't it? I thought it did. I went to the cinemas expecting to watch a nice romantic comedy à la Miss Congeniality or French Kiss or... you get the idea. Well, guess what? It's not funny. Not in the slightest bit. The only funny scene was when Catherine's dog bit George's hand and I still hated that scene because I wanted the dog to bite off George's head so the movie would be over. If I hadn't paid a lot of money to watch it and if I had been alone, I would have walked out on it.
Perhaps I am not artsy enough to get it. Perhaps my taste in movies is too shallow to appreciate this cinematic 'master'piece. Or perhaps it really does blow.
The only reason to watch this movie is to see Catherine look smoulderingly sexy.
