The 3 C’s (Coen, Clooney, and Catherine Zeta Jones) are perfectly matched up in this satire about slimy divorce lawyers! From the very beginning I could tell this movie would provide plenty of LOL moments, and the famous Coen humor never let up. Simply light hearted sarcastic fun!
George Clooney is such a perfect fit for the role of can-do-no-wrong pit-bull lawyer and Catherine Zeta-Jones is indeed a match in more ways than one. And as other Coen movies, Intolerable sports an all star guffaw-producing cast, including great performances by Geoffrey Rush, Billy Bob Thornton, Cedric the Entertainer , Edward Hermann, Richard Jenkins, and others.
I suppose one might consider parts of the plot a bit cheesy, but my opinion is that cheese is a dish best served with sarcasm and humor, and Coen does it with style and flair as opposed to the typical campy shtick of other farce-style movies.
