Marylin is the soon-to-be ex-wife of his client Rex Rexroth, a wealthy real estate developer and habitual philanderer. Q: George, how do you feel about lawyers? Now, he bounces between critical darlings The Descendants, Syriana and commercial blockbusters the Oceans franchise as easily as he does between the good life in Lake Como, where he spends much of his time with wife Amal, and Darfur, Sudan, where he has worked tirelessly to stop human rights atrocities. Clooney, immaculate in a gray suit, and Zeta-Jones, looking of course stunning, sat next to each other. Zeta-Jones, portraying an icy gold-digger who specializes in marrying rich men with the express purpose of taking them for everything they've got once the marriage is ended. It's comic gold as two of Hollywood's most dazzling stars - George Clooney and Academy Award® winner, Catherine Zeta-Jones - light up the screen in Intolerable Cruelty, a hilarious romantic comedy about men, women, and everything that can go wrong between them. That is until Rex Rexroth Edward Herrmann - Richie Rich hires him as representation in his divorce from Marylin Catherine Zeta-Jones - Chicago not that the divorce is a huge challenge but Marylin is.
While the film has flaws, Clooney is effective, made more so by Kidman, who gives the story authenticity and a powerful female presence. A new set of morals has been established in this country because of Bill Clinton. Q: The film, at times, can present a pessimistic view of marriage, I was wondering, how do you in the daily grind of things keep a positive outlook? Clooney shines in the role and most of the movie's laughs come from his performance. He gets entangled with two important women in his life. Here, she stars with another Batman and as another doctor, that of Dr.
And they don't do a lot of takes and keep it alive, which I found to be. That most certainly is the case when it comes to the women who have been part of his many successful films. I might be doing another film with them. Well, I don't really know. His constant obsession with keeping his teeth pearly white is a running joke.
Rex's wife Zeta-Jones is seeking a divorce because of Rex's philandering, which she has on videotape. The best thing in this film is proof positive that Clooney has long been wasting his career. Intolerable Cruelty opens with Geoffrey Rush brandishing a gun as he discovers his wife and the pool man. Beyond the romantic comedy trappings with a couple of exchanges involving poetry , the movie offers a number of farcical scenes such as several involving Clooney's boss, a weird old coot with no intestines. And she starred with Clooney again with Money Monster, which sadly is not about a 90-foot tall creature that nibbles on currency.
First of all this isn't a romantic comedy, it's a screwball comedy. Not even a mullet can dampen George Clooney's appeal. As an admitted attempt to imitate the screwball romantic comedies of the 1930s, Intolerable Cruelty works with some success as a comedy. I'm lucky enough, I think, in sort of a backward way that a lot of films that I did weren't particularly successful early, so I didn't get pigeonholed into having to do one particular thing. Oh, they're fun he laughs.
It quite nicely proves the point that a great cast cannot cover up all of a movie's weaknesses. Multi-talented, she has found great success both as a singer in movies and an actress. Miles instantly falls in love with the bewitching Marylin, while successfully prosecuting her high-profile divorce, which sets up a rather labyrinthine and transparent revenge plot that just limps to it's final, intolerable ending. I'm running out of body parts. Have our morals been so screwed up that we can no longer see the good guy from the bad? George Clooney in Intolerable Cruelty. If the final gross helps finance another great Coen film, so be it; otherwise, it's a shiny suit the brothers didn't need. And my son is just terrific, he's a little showman and he's a lot of fun to be around.
I think, especially in our business we meet a lot of people, and sometimes you spend so much time being nice to strangers. I'm not even going to comment on Eric's holier-than-thou attitude about the characters' moral fiber. Was this an intended element to have your character be similar yet different? With that one sultry performance, she began a string of high-profile movies with some of the biggest names in the business, including the coveted role of Marylin in the Joel and Ethan Coen directed black comedy Intolerable Cruelty opposite Clooney. Catherine Zeta Jones plays Marilyn Rexroth who is divorcing her cheating husband. And that's all the advice I can give.
Okay, she marries for money, but the principle is the same. As his work in Brother Where Art Thou proves. While she is perhaps best known now for her part in the successful horror series The Conjuring, she is a regular on the Bates Motel television series as well and continues to land roles in many high-profile films. While the film focuses on the many escapades of the large male cast, the breaks in-between with Roberts shine because she is the motivation and the only thing that rattles the otherwise always in control Ocean. While the story centers on the King character, a man with much to discover about his life, marriage, and daughters, the heart of the film really comes from Alex.
Now since the gorgeous Catherine Zeta-Jones is playing her, it is easy to see why he would find her attractive. It was the following year though when she landed the part of Karen Sisco, a U. Q: In O Brother Where Art Thou? It's bizarre at times, but humorous throughout as one coincidental incident sets-up another and turns all the characters on both of their ears. Vera Farmiga Up in the Air, 2009 What Have They Done Since: Academy Award-nominated for Up in the Air Vera Farmiga is a filmmaker at heart and has put time both behind and in front of the camera. From Academy Award®-winning directors Joel Coen and Ethan Coen Fargo; O Brother, Where Art Thou? Thornton is also under used as oil scion Howard Doyle.
Thus sets up the Coens' romantic comedy farce. . But thanks to Miles' considerable skills, she ends up with nothing. Intolerable Cruelty is the closest in spirit and style to those old screwball comedies of yesteryear that I have seen since What's Up Doc? And they sure can be irritating. And if you can do them with Joel and Ethan you just feel really lucky, especially if you get to work with people like Catherine.
