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
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.
Major star power and an entertaining storyline make for an entertaining romp. Nothing to write home about, but not a waste of time either!
