Intolerable Cruelty

This movie attempts to be one of those old 1940's, witty banter, man and woman meant for each other, the fatalest of all femme fatales movies.

It's not.

It's extremely stylized, and so, inaccessible. And kinda boring, to be completely honest. To plagiarize from another critic, this movie stars George Clooney's teeth! George Clooney has nice teeth. OK, we get it, move on.

Catherine Zeta-Jones is a money grubbing wife. George Clooney is the husband's divorce attorney. Sparks fly. They exchange banter. They scheme. They are successful in some schemes, but their love starts to shine through.

Awww... so sweet... but it's not.

This movie is cute. But it's not fantastic. It's not cinema. It's just cute. Maybe a touch saccharine. I just don't want to write about it anymore.
