Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
It's probably not right to call America's Sweethearts a rom-com; it's too light on the romance to fit the bill. It's a comedy about Hollywood monsters: to distract the press from noticing that visionary director Hal Weidmann (Christopher Walken) hasn't provided the movie they're on a junket to see, beleaguered publicist Lee (Billy Crystal) tries to reignite the romance between estranged power-couple Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones, queen bitch) and Eddie (John Cusack, heartbroken mess now a full-time resident at a New Age clinic). There's a romance there, between Eddie and Kiki (Julia Roberts), Gwen's sister, but the charm is in the unfolding trainwreck.
It's just an effortless good time -- light satire, enjoyable twists, and a cast who seem to be having a lot of fun. I've seen this one at least three times and it's always good comfort food.
