"Intolerable Cruelty" is a witty take on marital lawyers and their unscrupulous ways to win ridiculous cases in the courtroom, despite factual evidence.

George Clooney plays Miles Massey, a take-no-prisoners matrimonial lawyer who specializes in persuading juries to give everything to even the most guilty spouses.

Massey has a perfect record in the courtroom until he meets his match in Marilyn Rexroth. Wealthy Rex Rexroth (Edward Herrmann) is not just apparently but actually guilty of adultery.

His wife, Marilyn, (Catherine Zeta Jones) has hired a private detective (Cedric the Entertainer) who filmed Rex at a motel with a girlfriend. Miles, despite finding Marilyn the most beautiful woman he has ever seen, manages to win the day for Rex, leaving Marilyn with nothing.

Marilyn goes on to find another rich husband (Billy Bob Thornton) and goes to Miles to get the legendary "Massey pre-nup" which has "never been penetrated." It is an agreement to forego any claims on her new spouse's assets if there is ever a divorce.

"Only love is in mind if the Massey is signed." Miles, knowing that Marilyn is up to something but not able to figure out what, has finally met a woman as devious as he is. He is utterly smitten.

Before it is over, everyone will be turned upside down.

This romantic comedy will keep you amused and guessing as to its final outcome.

The movie is rated PG-13 and can be seen at the Cine.
