Intolerable Cruelty
I saw Intolerable Cruelty this evening. George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones were both very good. I think Clooney does pretty well in comedies, at least in the two that he's done that were written and directed by the Coens. Intolerable Cruelty isn't the Coen Brothers best work but it's worth watching. It's more mainstream and less quirky than most of their films. It's a romantic comedy; a throwback but not to the extent as The Hudsucker Proxy. The Coens next two projects are remakes: First is The Ladykillers with Tom Hanks, a remake of a 1955 comedy with Alec Guiness. After that is Fun with Dick and Jane with Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz -- a remake of the 1977 comedy with George Segal and Jane Fonda.
