Underrated Coen flick

The Coens always get crap for their comedies not living up to Raising Arizona, but really what can? Ladykillers WAS lacking, but Intolerable Cruelty is really, really fun. Fantastic goofball turn by Clooney, sharp as a razor dialogue, and the death of Wheezy Joe is a cinematic classic. Great movie.
Much like Fargo but set in the deserted plains of south Texas instead of the barren tundra of North Dakota. But even better, and with an ending that can't help but leave you wondering.
Definitely the best movie of 2007; as soon as it was over I wanted to see it again right away. The best Cohen brothers movie ever made, and one of the best book-to-movies ever done. Period.
