After the movie ended, my family looked at eachother and said "HUH?". There wasn't a point to this movie. The two greedy, manipulative, self-centred characters just went about in their greedy, manipulative, and self-centred way and everything seemed to turn out all right for them in the end. Somehow. There really wasn't anything funny, except for George Clooney checking out his teeth constantly. I wouldn't recommend seeing it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Intolerable Cruelty
Parents need to know that this movie has some mature material for a PG-13, including adulterous situations and some mildly kinky sexual references (nothing explicit and no nudity). It has strong language for a PG-13. There is comic violence that includes guns and one character is killed. Families who have dealt with painful divorces may not find the depiction in this film very entertaining. Some viewers may be disturbed by a character who is very ill. The characters are greedy, manipulative, and unethical, all played for humor.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why independence was so important to Marilyn and why she thought that marrying a wealthy man was the only way she could achieve it.

This was War of the Roses revisited but between singles instead of a couple
|This movie had little to redeem itself. The characters were self centered and selfish and it was all but impossible to like or identify with either of them. Every woman in the movie was a gold digger and all the men are either fools or philanders. You can not sympathise with any of them or feel any compassion. By the end of the movie, when love supposedly won out, you just don't care enough about them to even be moved by turn of heart.
