I have to say, and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this...

As a devoted Coen bros. fan, I definitely think Intolerable Cruelty is one of their most underrated films.

You got to the very point man. It gets better every time I watch it. I seriously can't understand why it's so under-rated.

This film is hilarious! Just watched it a few minutes ago for the first time. Had a few good laughs, not a grin or a giggle, but involuntary and out loud, the best ones. The story line is just so funny, great lines too. It feels almost fresh amongst all the lame and semi-comical movies out there. Really good performance by George Clooney. Absolutely loved the guy that leads the laywer firm with all the wires and medical equipment. Hilarious!

Who can hate this movie??? Of course with the exception of the average cinema snobs who feel they have a 'unique' (waahaha) and thorough understanding of what a movie should be like...

I totally agree. This movie was excellent!

I hear you guys quoting most of the movie's funniest parts, but you've missed my favorite part:

In the very first scene when they're in a courtroom, Clooney and assistant aren't even listening to the other lawyer or the woman's testimony at all, and you can hear what the woman is saying, "He became more and more into the sex...sometimes there would be a gizmo...he had some of his workers at the factory design a device called the "Intruder," and he used the parts from our vacuum cleaner to build it...and I couldn't use that vacuum cleaner for several months." That is just way too funny, especially when the other attorney asks, "A gizmo?"

Also, I thought it was pretty funny when the baron says he works at "Le Pantalon Rouge" and George Clooney just calls the place "The Red Trousers." Funny when I saw that for the first time.

The salad order is also waaay too funny. "I'd like...Baby Field of Greens." "What did you call me?" "I...didn't call you anything...I'll just have a green salad." "What the *beep* color would it be."

I'd go so far as to say that this is the coen brothers' second greatest "laugh out loud" movie (the first being Lebowski). Oh Brother and Fargo may be better movies, but I don't really think they were as funny as this one.
