Though a 2003 release, I watched this George Clooney (Miles Massey) & Catherine Zeta-Jones (Marylin Rexroth) starring movie. Intolerable Cruelty delves into the gold digging, love seeking, philandering marital couples who will go to any lengths to stake claim to each other’s assets in the certain eventuality of divorce. In fact the institution of marriage is based on acquiring the richer partner’s assets when the fight it out in court during the divorce. Miles Massey is the suave and successful lawyer who falls in love with the enemy, Marylin Rexroth whose sole ambition is to get rich through marriage.
Supported by an award winning cast of Geoffrey Rush (Donovan Donaly), Cedric The entertainer (Gus Petch), Edward Herrmann (Rex Rexroth), Richard Jenkins (Freddy Bender), Billy Bob Thorton (Howard Doyle) and Paul Adelstein (Wrigley) the movie is thoroughly entertaining and takes you through the strange proceedings of law that might make you sit back and wonder about never ever getting divorced. Oh and for those not married, never ever getting married. Or then again might be an interesting insight into the most wonderful feeling in the world, LOVE. And as The Beatles once said “All You Need is Love”
