a BIG CLUE for those who didn't get it.


Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

I have an inkling that everyone criticizing this movie is way too young to fully appreciate it.

I'm not fully convinced. I'll tell you why. You may not like it.

Firstly, your name is 'rapsucks'. Insomuch as I agree, you need to grow up (however old you may be).

Secondly, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis were B-movie comedians - even then. They were annoying and quaint and though it was a nice pairing, they are not a duet (arguably alone or as a pair) that one would reference as a comparison to 'appreciate' "Intolerable Cruelty".

They were funny. Lewis was a good comedian on his own (though pretty annoying in most instances and nothing 'fantastic' or genius) and Dean Martin was...well...Dean Martin. I know them (not that those criticizing are 'too young' in this case) and I still don't think this film is any good. Matter of fact it is downright shameful to what the Coen's are capable of.

Does that satisfy your 'inkling' as to the age of viewers?

ralec205 you are a serious blowhard.

I bet the people who you consider friends secretly despise the way you point out everything wrong in our imperfect world.

You probably THAT guy (or gal) who likes to tell other people why they are wrong to like or not like a movie.


"Wow, ralec205 I really liked that one.."

"Well, BOB, you see...you're wrong, you can't have like it because it was a shameful little ..... blah blah blah"

"You probably THAT guy (or gal) who likes to tell other people why they are wrong to like or not like a movie."

I think you meant "You're" or "You are." Just wanted to point out something that was wrong.

Ron Howard and one of the writers

Park(Matt Stone)that's the reason it'
