America's Sweethearts
2001
Comedian Billy Crystal co-wrote and co-stars in this acidly told tale about a separated, bickering movie-star couple (Catherine Zeta-Jones and John Cusack) who "make nice" for the cameras at a press junket promoting their new movie together. Julia Roberts is Zeta-Jones's sister and assistant who harbors a major crush on the oblivious Cusack. And Crystal's the press agent who must mediate between the warring parties.

Comedy, Romance
Major star power and an entertaining storyline make for an entertaining romp. Nothing to write home about, but not a waste of time either!
Billed as a romantic comedy - but it's pretty much just a light-hearted comedy that pokes fun at Hollywood. Nice to see a self-deprecating film by major stars. It isn't a great movie, but it's pretty fun to watch nonetheless.
