Ein Filmpublizist muss sich mit der chaotischen öffentlichen Spaltung der Co-Stars seines Films auseinandersetzen und gleichzeitig Reporter auf Abstand halten, während ein zurückgezogen lebender Regisseur die Kopie des Films als Geisel hält.
Where the film started off quite amusing and occasionally funny, 'America's Sweethearts' literally sink lower and lower as the running time clicked away. The first half of the flick works pretty well, mainly because it concentrates most of its time at the hypocritical lives of Hollywood's leading lads and ladies.
Ughhh... Such a mediocre movie, even less than that.
Movie publicist Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) tries to juggle a crazy director who is holding the movie hostage, and the breakup of the movie's two stars. Eddie Thomas (John Cusack) is terribly jealous of Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones)'s relationship with the weird voiced Hector Gorgonzolas (Hank Azaria).
