(rated PG-13)
George Clooney is a sleazy divorce attorney. Catherine Zeta Jones is a woman who robs alimony from a string of ex husbands. When their worlds collide, so do their values. Or lack of them. Director/brother team Ethan and Joel Coen tackle their first romantic comedy re-teaming with their “O Brother Where Art Thou?” star, Clooney. The chemistry of Clooney and Zeta Jones is a throwback to Hayworth, Clark Gable, Hepburn and Grant, you name it. With Billy Bob Thornton as Zeta-Jones’s next victim and Geoffrey Rush in an amusing stint as a client of Clooney’s. The movie holds its own. Buffoonish style comedy, Zeta-Jones is deadpan in her role, and the Coen brothers good, but not as great as some of their past films.
