AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS (2001) - ♦♦♦

Directed by - Joe Roth

Written by - Billy Crystal, Peter Tolan, Donna Roth

Starring - Julia Roberts, Billy Crystal, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Cusack

 

"The love story between two of the famous stars of the cinema as they are kept together more by contract and money than by true love. 

 

America's Sweetheart's appeal heavily relies on its great cast, but it’s never as witty as its should be, with most the jokes coming from Billy Crystal's character as he tries to keep the couple from falling apart. Eventually, the film just becomes a regular romantic comedy, and there's no doubt that filmmakers like Ernst Lubitsch and Billy Wilder would have made it differently."
