| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Intolerable Cruelty Movie Rating: 
Lively Comedy | |
| In this screwball romance, divorce attorney Miles Massey (George Clooney) falls in love across the conference table with dazzling Marilyn (Catherine Zeta-Jones). Sadly, she is the gold-digging wife of his multimillionaire client, Rex Rexroth (Edward Herrmann), and when Miles fixes it so that she receives no divorce settlement, Marilyn wants Miles' hide, not his heart. | |
| Clooney's charm, Zeta-Jones' formidable beauty, and a cast clearly relishing the script's spirited banter make for a winning formula in this lively comedy. Although Zeta-Jones is too cool a performer to really heat things up with Clooney - Miles enjoys a warmer relationship with best pal Wrigley (Phil Adelstein) - the absence of chemistry proves no drawback in a tale in which the battle of the sexes is so clearly engaged. |
