A new twist on the cliche
This movie is Cinderella meets While You Were Sleeping. It is everything it was hyped up to be. Billy Crystal did a great job with this one.

This movie stars Catherine Zeta-Jones as Gwen Harrison and John Cusack as Eddie Thomas as "America's Sweethearts", a married acting duo with some of the most popular romantic movies of the time. Chaos ensues as the couple splits, Eddie goes nuts and tries to kill Gwen, and he is institutionalized.

Now it's time to promote their new movie! Paranoid Eddie and Explosive Gwen have to get together and pretend they're still going strong at the junket, put together by publicist Crystal. The whole time, Crystal is selling embarassing photos and security film of the couple to the press just to hide the fact that the movie which the junket is all about has been hijacked by the psycho director (Christopher Walken), and the producer (Stanly Tucci) is getting really mad! The whole time Crystal is trying to comfort eddie and Gwen while being two-faced and acting surprised!

Eddie still has a love for Gwen, but it isn't mutual. Kiki (Julia Roberts), Gwen's sister and devout slave and personal assistant, is comforting Eddie while trying to stop herself from falling in love. The problem is, she's just lost 6o ponds (they show JULIA FAT!) and looks great, and Eddie is falling in love with her but trying to hide it from Gwen. It turns into a chaotic laugh fest. Julia Roberts, of course, steals the show with her usual charm and wit.

This movie is light and cheery, and although it doesn't hit with a comedic splash, it isn't just a "chick flick". i dragged my brother with me and he loved it too. He even laughed! Go see it if it's rainy and you want a fun-filled experience.

Enjoy.

Sassy Satire with Heart
In a world obsessed with celebrities' every move, Billy Crystal delivers a smart, sassy satire with heart. He brings a hilarious portrayal of celebrity breakups to the screen by telling the triangle of Gwen Harrison, Eddie Thomas and Kiki Harrison.

Catherine Zeta-Jones shines as Gwen, the overdemanding much- lauded starlet, and John Cusack is brilliant as Eddie Thomas, her estranged husband and former co-star. Julia Roberts taking a role somewhat in the shadows, is perfect as Gwen's sister, Kiki, whose life is devoted to satisfying every want and whim of Gwen. Having seen Julia as Anna Scott ( Notting Hill ), it was refreshing to see her tackle a different type of character, one who lives in the shadows of the famous, but shines in her own right.

The film is smart and funny while delivering a sweet storyline about the choices we make over who we love, when guided by others and the DVD is enjoyable with deleted scenes. Add it to your movie collection today!

sweet and funny
John Cusack(Better Off Dead, Identity, Max) and Catherine Zeta-Jones(Traffic, High Fidelity, The Mask OF Zorro) are America's Sweethearts but they were when Cusack went nuts..so he's at this clinic where Alan Arkin(Jereky Boys Movie, Grosse Pointe Blank) is his doctor..so he is let free when his newest movie is released featuring Jones..so Billy Crystal(Father's Day, Deconstructing Harry, This Is Spinal Tap)..it's directed by a very funny Christopher Walken(Suicide Kings, Nick OF Time, Sleepy Hollow)..also starring Seth Green(Party Monster, Stephen King's IT, Idle Hands), Julia Roberts(Erin Brockovich, Oceans Elven2001, PRetty Woman), Hank Azaria(Godzilla1998, Heat, Great Expectations1998), Eric Balfour(Trojan War, Cant Hardly Wait, Texas Chainsaw Massacre2003) and Stanley Tucci(The Core, Big Trouble, The Pelican Brief)...highlight would have to be when Seth Green and Billy Crystal talk threw the walkie talkies.Hilarious
