![]() Tagline: Engage the enemy.
A very successful divorce attorney based out of Los Angeles, Miles, gets involved with serial divorcee Marylin. They end up getting married and soon Marylin shows her true self by trying to gain financial independence by divorcing him. So begins an enormous battle between the two as they both fight for what they want, personally and professionally.
Intolerable Cruelty is a romantic comedy about a man who wins in court and a woman who courts to win. Clooney portrays Miles Massey, a prominent Los Angeles divorce attorney who has everything—and in some cases, two of everything. Despite his impressive client list, a formidable win record, the respect of his peers and an ironclad contract (the “Massey pre-nup”) named after him, he’s reached a crossroads in his life. Sated on success, boredom has set in and he’s looking for new challenges.
All that changes when Miles meets his match in the devastating Marylin Rexroth (Zeta-Jones). Marylin is the soon-to-be ex-wife of his client Rex Rexroth (Edward Herrmann), a wealthy real estate developer and habitual philanderer.
