Catherine Zeta Jones divorces George Clooney – Intolerable Cruelty
Intolerable Cruelty (2003) – snappy, intelligent edutainement, not just a romantic fast flood movie. And about divoraceous relations.
Ridendo castigat mores: laughing castigate the mores.
I tend to agree with this IMDB review, even if it may be over-enthusiastic:
Clooney and Zeta Jones at their best, 20 January 2005
Dan Da’man: Intolerable cruelty is possibly the best written romantic comedy of the modern era. The script writers deserve much credit for this under rated flick, as do Clooney and Zeta-Jones, who turn out their best performances since the turn of the century.
On first viewing this movie can appear just another average comedy with a few names but nothing special.
Its what I thought. I even tuned out for some period. But on my repeated viewing I picked up all the delicate intricacies and humour. I now cannot watch this film without feeling happy, it changes my mood. It has a brilliant balance of legal proceedings, meaningless humour, character revealing humour, trait development whilst raising some unavoidable issues about American divorce proceedings. I highly rate this film and ask viewers to relax and enjoy the humour but also pay close attention to the twists and turns.
Also, I recommend Intolerable Cruelty to the education department as it is ideal for students to study and analyse. It will keep them interested and allow them understand character development at its best, whilst giving them an insight into divorce law.
An unprincipled divorce attorney falls in love with a manipulative gold-digger.

Recognizing a weakness can lead you to real power
“The greatest strenght of women is their appearance of weakness. The greatest weakness of men is their appeareance of strenght.“
Women recognize, discuss and share their fears and concerns, and they also share information and solutions. Men don’t. And this messes them up. Really bad. Personally and socially.
Recognizing a weakness leads you to real power, but staying in denial could eat you away.
VulnerAbility
| So I think most men deny their vulnerability, and do nothing about it. Posing in the tough hero role (for fear of not being selected by women). And suffer the consequences. |
And many women recognize their vulnerability, and still do nothing about it. They bask in the victim role. And blame the men. Or the world. |
