CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times	6	Plots like this have fueled lovely screwball comedies, and Intolerable Cruelty is in the genre, but somehow not of it.
Chicago Tribune	8	Screwball comedy is a matter of characters, style, pace and great lines; Intolerable Cruelty has them all.
E!	6	...the overly cartoonish direction of Clooney's character and the sanitary-studio feel of the film keep the whole thing from working happily ever after.
filmcritic.com	6	...it's so Hollywood-conventional as to make its existence puzzling at best, unnecessary at worst.
New York Post	8	...giddy, corrosively funny matrimonial farce...

Good Coen brothers, not great. But not great Coen brothers is still damn good, and better than about 90% of the other films out there. Clooney is brilliant, Zeta-Jones lovely. Lots of witty dialogue here you might miss the first time around if you're not paying attention. By the way, the soundtrack is excellent.
