Une comédie loufoque et déjantée avec beaucoup de personnages formidables et d'existences perdues, en particulier Joe le râleur, qui sort du lot. Malheureusement, les frères Coen n'ont pas évité les clichés américains, qui me rendent malade quand je suis censé me lever et applaudir les mêmes scènes pour la trente-six millième fois. Cela dit, l'alchimie Clooney—Zeta-Jones fonctionne à merveille, Paul Adelstein se caricature lui-même, et Rush et Thornton font plaisir à voir dans leurs rôles secondaires.

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.

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...

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%
