      • Jul 24, 2013

        An all-star cast, indeed, but the film is lackluster in comedy even in romance. America's Sweethearts is a rom-com that does no favors in providing attention or even inspiration to the audience despite the amount of stars on display. 3/5

        better than the low expectations some reviews gave me. been a long time since seeing 2 women, roberts & zeta-jones, in lead roles BOTH play their roles so strongly. stanley tucci also pulled off the meglomaniac boss effortlessly. however i feel crystal & cusack were just turning up for work and were outclassed. 70% of the jokes were genuinely funny

        From writer/producer Billy Crystal comes the fun, romantic comedy America's Sweethearts. When America's number one Hollywood couple goes through a tumultuous breakup, the film studio plots to get them back together in order to promote their latest movie. John Cusack, Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal, and Catherine Zeta-Jones form an all-star cast that delivers some great performances. Plus, the story's written fairly well and has some fun surprises. America's Sweethearts is an entertaining romp full of laughs.

        full of a cast of known greats but they can't resurrect a dull concept and boring characters. billy crystal has made a career full of hits and misses and this is one of the misses
