Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Davis P America's Sweethearts (2001) is a fairly entertaining comedy starring Catherine Zeta Jones, John Cusack, Julia Roberts, Hank Azaria, and Billy Crystal. First off I'll begin with the casting choices and how they executed their roles. I really liked the cast and how each of them portrayed their roles. Catherine Zeta Jones played the bratty, pampered, annoying actress wife of John Cusack, and she plays that role very well in my opinion. John Cusack is the actor husband of Jones. They starred in practically all their movies together and are considered "America's Sweethearts". They have been separated for about a year and neither of them are doing very well. Jones's films have been bombing at the box office due to them not including Cusack. And Cusack has been up in a rehab therapy place in the mountains. Billy Crystal is a movie publicist who needs to get them back together in order for their next movie to do well because the studio needs it to. And Julia Roberts plays Kiki, Jones's sister and personal assistant. I loved Julia in this role! She plays it so well, her character doesn't have much of a life because she's constantly dealing with her self absorbed childish sister. The plot is executed in a pretty good fashion, it's not excellent, but it's not bad, it's PRETTY good, which is why I gave this movie a 7/10. The comedy worked about 50% of the time. Hank Azaria was bad in this film, I really really didn't like him or his character, he was sooo annoying and just dumb. P***y boy? Really? That's the best you've got for his character? Really the best part of this comedy is Roberts and Cusack and seeing them interact and their relationship blossom. And seeing Jones in this selfish character was amusing, she was a big part of the comedic aspect. Overall I suggest it as a fairly amusing popcorn movie. 7/10 for America's Sweethearts.

SnoopyStyle Movie publicist Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) tries to juggle a crazy director who is holding the movie hostage, and the breakup of the movie's two stars. Eddie Thomas (John Cusack) is terribly jealous of Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones)'s relationship with the weird voiced Hector Gorgonzolas (Hank Azaria). Her last two movies without Eddie has bombed. Lee has to organize a movie junket without anybody seeing the movie. Meanwhile Gwen's dutiful sister Kiki (Julia Roberts) is slowly falling for Eddie.The script written by Billy Crystal, and Peter Tolan takes a few pokes at the movie business. It has a little fun. Billy Crystal is pushing hard for the material. Hank Azaria is doing another stupid voice and is all the more annoying for it. Cusack and Zeta-Jones have little chemistry or great rom-com chops. But there is one thing above all else that annoyed me the most. I cannot buy that Julia Roberts is the ugly duckling. They try to explain it away with her 60 lbs weight loss. Quite frankly, Julia and Catherine operate in the same area of acting. Julia may be slightly better, but this movie needs two women at the opposite ends. Julia can't really pull this off no matter how charming she is. Now if there is a fatter Julia Roberts with 60 lbs on her, she may be great for this role.

Sirus_the_Virus I really liked America's sweethearts, which is a realistic sort of film. Some bits of it are unbelievable but I liked it. Would these people really need to act like they are together? They are not, get over it. Like with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt, it's over... get over it. Likw with Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, I had a favorite of the two. I much, much, much prefer Jennifer Aniston over Brad Pitt. But with Eddie(John Cusack) and Gwen(Cathrine Zeta Jones), I prefer Eddie. In America's sweethearts, Billy Crystal(The great Billy Crystal, sorry)plays Lee, a film agent who has recently been fired. He can get his job back if he does one thing. If he can get Eddie Thomas and Gwen Harrison(Played by John Cusack and Cathrine Zeta- Jones), a Hollywood couple, back together. Julia Roberts stars as Gwen's sister Kiki, and she is Gwen's agent. Soon Eddie and Kiki start to fall in love.I thought that America's sweethearts was good for what it was. I'll admit it's not a great film but it is pretty funny. This film has such a great cast. Stanley Tucci is in it, Seth Green is in it, even Christopher Walken is in it. He is hilarious. There is more to the plot than what I said though. I love John Cusack, I love Julia Roberts, I love Billy Crystal, I like Cathrine Zeta-Jones also. With a funny script, great cast and interesting story plot, America's sweethearts works.America's sweethearts:***/****

long-ford This film is really two films in one. There's a sharp black comedy on Hollywood, as well as a pleasant romance. While both parts work, I preferred the comedy over the romance. Billy Crystal has some good one-liners and John Cusack, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Christopher Walken all seem to be having fun as they satirize Hollywood. Even Larry King joins in the fun. However Cusack seems visibly disinterested in his romantic role opposite Julia Roberts. Roberts can perform this role in her sleep. The film is watchable though it would have been even better as a stand alone satire.Overall 7/10
