7/10
Enjoyable
13 January 2006
I enjoyed Intolerable Cruelty a lot, even with various people torturing Simon and Garfunkel songs throughout. Actually, "Bridge Over Troubled Water" on bagpipes wasn't too bad. The alliterative names were distracting, Miles Massey, Sarah Sorkin, Donovan Donaly, etc. There are more. Don't bother watching the extra features on the DVD. They are not only sparse, but irritating as well. George Clooney, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Geoffrey Rush turned in fine performances, and Paul Adelstein was delightful as Wrigley. Come to think of it, he was kind of wriggly…. I was surprised to see Rush in a supporting role, and more surprised to hear him sing. Oh, by the way, the subtitles/closed-captions made a mistake on the second line of "April Come She Will." Can't tell I'm a Simon and Garfunkel fan, can you? This was an enjoyable farce, and worth the time.
