Intolerable Cruelty (2003), Coen Bros, A
Watching this again let me sink my teeth into the side characters, the details. This is a real Coen Bros. movie, even if they didn’t create the material. I do think, though, that Catherine Zeta-Jones, while beautiful and probably the only one who could’ve played this role, does miss a few opportunities for comedy. The first dinner sequence between her and Cloony — imagine if it were Frances McDormand or Judy Davis. Either’d've nailed the wine vintage gag better. But who would look like C Z-J in those red dresses?
