| So I sit there for the first half hour, waiting for it to get better, until

| Intolerable Cruelty Review |
| by Karina Montgomery (Rating: 3/5) |
| Intolerable Cruelty lacks the sublime satire of the Hudsucker Proxy,
or the loving character sketches of Fargo, the shrewd retelling of O
Brother Where Art Thou, or even the wacky, semi-surreal comedy of
Raising Arizona. Cruelty is a bizarro...more |

| The perfect "Fargo" (a quintessential Coen Brothers movie that I
enjoyed again the other night) ends with the standard disclaimer that any
