America's Sweethearts
Lightweight Hollywood farce with all-star cast

Tweet

Plot
Despite their impending divorce, movie stars Gwen and Eddie are persuaded to appear together at a press junket to plug their latest film. While publicist Lee milks the potential, Gwen's put-upon sister Kiki soothes the famous brows and nurses an unrequited love.

Verdict
A lightweight, amusing farce with undeniable cast appeal and a fair supply of Crystal's throwaway funnies.
