Intolerable Cruelty

Suave divorce lawyer Miles Massey (George Clooney as a Cary Grant lookalike) suffers from ennui. He hits the tennis balls back from the service machine without moving his racket, complains vociferously about the uselessness of his silver fruit spoons and has nightmares about the number of lunches he has listed as expenses. He gets a new lease of life when gold digger Marylin Rexroth (Catherine Zeta-Jones) enters his life and they become embroiled in a completely amoral struggle about the division of goods, which Massey wrote the reference book on. Marylin needs to be really clever to get the edge on him.
