    Personally, I have to admit that I really liked 'Intolerable Cruelty.' This movie truly is a 'screwball.' However, I didn't find the movie funny for the most part. I actually thought it is the truth. I was actually somewhat impressed by the plot and development of the movie. This movie is a sophisticated version of what an educated gold-digger (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones) does in her high-class life. Everything about this movie is just plain cold-hearted and ruthless in the battle between the sexes. I actually liked it. The actors of the movie (Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Clooney, and others) actually deliver a very good job in their overall performances in this movie. I would truly recommend this movie for others to watch. It is actually worth the watch.

    Very. Very. Funny. We were laughing the whole time. The script is clever and the acting is perfect. Billy Bob Thornton steals the first scene he appears in--I had to rewind and watch it twice.
