: America’s Sweethearts

This is a “comedy” about a movie star couple who are America’s sweethearts. But they split and the world is shocked. Then they’re forced to be together during a press junket to promote their new film. Unfortunately, despite some decent, if routine, performances from some big stars, the film’s humor is too predictable to be funny. We’re treated to “hilarious” and “shocking” things like learning that big movie stars treat their assistants like dirt and have affairs (i.e. they’re human). Ho hum. Mildly entertaining, with the emphasis on the mild. The only really nice thing was seeing Julia Roberts in the non-star role as a wallflower.
