Miles Massey nagymenő Los Angeles-i válóperes ügyvéd. Sikerei csúcsán van: lenyűgöző az ügyfélköre, a pereit nagy arányban nyeri, a szakmában tisztelik, sőt, még egy kikezdhetetlen házasság előtti szerződést is elneveztek róla. Az élete mégis üres és unalmas. Miles ezért új kihívásokat keres. Ez pedig a gyönyörű Marylin Rexroth személyében érkezik, aki Miles egyik ügyfelének leendő ex-felesége, és egy magánnyomozó segítségével ki akarja forgatni a dúsgazdag férjét a vagyonából. Miles meghiúsítja az akciót, ám a nő nem hagyja annyiban a dolgot, ráadásul veszedelmesen csinos. (UIP-Duna Film)

The combination of the Coen brothers and (un)traditional romantic comedy works surprisingly well, mainly thanks to the central spiking duo. There’s nothing unforgettable, but the film is very entertaining. The question remains whether "only" a solid respite film is not a bit too little for filmmakers of Coens’ calibre... ()
When a catchphrase narcissist played by George Clooney and an incredibly gorgeous creature played by Catherine Zeta Jones are carried away on a flood of bizarre supporting characters, not only are you sure to get a great bit of entertainment, but indeed a downright gem. Divorces, assets, and legal tricks are the fabric of this chill black comedy, but true love is the very ingredient that makes Intolerable Cruelty a favorite of mine. A royal spectacle. ()
Fast, funny, and intelligent, just as we are used to with the Coen brothers. Their intelligent and unique humor, they will certainly please rather than the other way around. George Clooney is quite charismatic, and even actors like Geoffrey Rush or Billy Bob Thornton won't go unnoticed. ()
I love the Coens’ crime movies, but not their comedies. They have a strange sense of humour that I, an ordinary fan, probably have no chance to understand. George Clooney is fine as a successful and greedy lawyer, and Catherine is always awfully lovely to look at, but their love escapades mostly bored me rather than made me kick back and relax. At least it is saved for a while by Billy Bob Thornton, who again excels and climbs higher and higher in my acting rankings, unlike this romantic comedy. 60% ()
The cast was literally crammed with so many big names that I was confused by this actually being an average romantic comedy, albeit a well-executed one. Catherine Zeta-Jones was very pleasing to my sensory functions, I was impressed by the acting talent of George Clooney's teeth, Billy Bob Thornton didn't stick around for too long, but it was worth it. I rate this a weak four stars. ()
