Editorial Review:
Product Description:
FOR KIKI, BEING THE PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO BEAUTIFUL MEGASTAR GWEN ISN'T EASY. IN FACT, IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE SINCE THE MAN OF HER DREAMS IS EDDIE. GWEN'S ESTRANGED HUSBAND. KIKI IS GIVEN THE MONUMENTAL TASK OF HELPING GWEN AND EDDIE MAKE IT THROUGH A PRESS JUNKET ORGANIZED BY PUBLICITY EXEC LEE PHILLIPS.
Amazon.com:
America's Sweethearts is just the kind of romantic froth that makes for pleasant viewing on a lazy, rainy day. While Julia Roberts, John Cusack, and Catherine Zeta-Jones offer high-wattage marquee value, costar and cowriter Billy Crystal reworks Singin' in the Rain for latter-day Hollywood, where estranged superstars Gwen (Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (Cusack) reluctantly promote their latest movie by pretending their messily disputed relationship is still going strong. The studio chief (Stanley Tucci) is desperate for a hit, so he hires a seasoned publicist (Crystal) to orchestrate a press junket that will cast everyone in a profitable light. The catch: The director (Christopher Walken) has abducted his own film in an act of artistic extortion, and Gwen's sister and longtime assistant Kiki (Roberts) is the true object of Eddie's desire.
Chaos ensues at the luxury hotel where the junket is scheduled, and America's Sweethearts pokes easy fun at the cynical machinery that keeps Hollywood running. Quotable quips are delivered in abundance, and while Zeta-Jones is readily convincing as a bitchy narcissist, Roberts effortlessly steals the show with her trademark charms. All of which makes America's Sweethearts lightly entertaining, even though it never rises (like Roberts's earlier Notting Hill) to the level of classic romantic comedy, hampered by a script that too often substitutes easy laughs for ripe satirical invention, flashing a phony grin when it should be baring its fangs. --Jeff Shannon

4 of 5 stars for the star-packed comedy America's Sweethears. What a cast of stars: Zeta-Jones, Roberts, Crystal, Arkin, Walken, Cusack. Mostly filmed on location at the Hyatt Lake Las Vegas, this comedy is about two movie stars who were a couple making their last big film. The focus of the movie is the launch of the new film and the benefits ($$) of the two (Cusack & Zeta-Jones) getting back together as America's Sweethearts. To complicate matters ZJ is now dating a stud (Azaria) and Cusack is in ... Read More

The first time I saw this movie I was disappointed. Ever since, it has been one of my favorite movies. I think it's a movie that has to grow on you. Billy Crystal is hilarious in his role as the studio publicist that has to do outlandish things to keep crazy actors going. The movie has many very funny scenes. I think the best thing about the movie though is the chemistry between Cusack's character and Julia Robert's character. It's sort of a different twist on the theme of the main character finding ...

Oh, yeah... this one. You'd think, given the caliber of the actors involved, that AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS would've come out a more entertaining picture. But, while it does have its standout moments (some, not many), the movie more than anything feels smug and condescending. So, while I guess I overall enjoyed watching the movie, parts of it leave me cold. If you toil in the Hollywood industry, then you may get more out of this film and also better appreciate all those knowing insider digs. Me, I'm kind ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
America's Sweethearts has a hilarious first 5 minutes and goes quickly downhill from there; it's a forgettable film that misses most of the opportunities inherent in the script for the sake of showing the audience a story it has already seen before.
