Film: Intolerable Cruelty

One view on this film: "The trailer wasn't so hot, but it's the Coen Brothers and that's all I need to know."

Personally I don't think I've seen enough of the Coens' work to hold them in such high respect as others do. (Wait: this is the fourth film of theirs I've seen; maybe it's time to make a judgement call.)

So here it is... a glamorous, beautiful screwball comedy. There are a few missed cues (the character of Herb Myerson pushed taste boundaries a little too far for me), but on the whole it's a wonderful, well-paced film.
