I found America's Sweethearts to
be a cute, charming, and smart Hollywood romance with a top-notch
cast of actors.
I thought it was a better-than-average
movie, and just can't understand how some critics rate their
films. They really trashed this one.
It isn't supposed to be taken seriously.
Take it for what it is. It's a spoof with added laughs and drama
mixed in.
Although a little predictable, people coming
out of the theater liked it
and so did I. |
After all its hype--I went into the theater
expecting this movie to be terrible, and was pleasantly surprised.
This light comedy doesn't have a strong
enough script to warrant its star power, but it was an agreeable
romp through the twisted world of the Hollywood press junket.
More amusing than amazing, it's a piece
of fluff that is sure to do well
on video.

(Gordy sings "You do
something to me.")
One thing that mystifies or puzzles me
about this romantic comedy is that the film doesn't involve our
compassion or make us care about the characters or their happiness.
Another sour point is its PG-13 rating.
The movie has tasteless sexual jokes and raw language. This kind
of material sometimes works well in adult screwball comedy, but
(in my view) it was targeted for adolescents and for cheap laughs
and should have been rated R. |
