America's Sweethearts (2001)
Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie Thomas (John Cusack) are both movie stars who are currently trying it apart for a bit. Little does Eddie know, Gwen plans on filing for a divorce to end the marriage entirely. But, before their marriage fell apart, they were an amazing couple on-screen and off. Therefore, they must get back together and promote a movie that they had made while they were still in love. At the premier weekend for the press, the print of the film is taking a while to show up. So, a publicist named Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) shows up and tries to divert the attention of the press towards Gwen and Eddie, making it seem as if their marriage is still perfectly fine. So, to the press, Gwen and Eddie still seem to be getting along with each other. But, Gwen actually has another man in her life named Hector while Eddie is finally realizing his attraction towards Gwen's sister named Kiki (Julia Roberts). Overall, I enjoyed this movie. But, I really like John Cusack and Julia Roberts, so that probably had an effect on my decision. For the most part, the movie was predictable. Near the very beginning of the movie, it was easy to tell that Eddie had an attraction towards Kiki, and would probably end up with her. Even though the plot was predictable, it still managed to keep me immersed and entertained. It's not the greatest romantic comedy, but I still enjoyed it.
I gave this movie 7/10 stars on imdb.com.
