You have to suffer through the de facto Miss America, Julia Roberts, pretending as though she's blending in with the furniture.

Lo adorable de su elenco, lo divertido de su trama y su atractivo reparto, la hacen sumamente disfrutable

Una comedia ligera pero agradable y divertida, la disfrutarán más los que gustan del cine y el show business...

Let me tell you the bottom line: the movie is cute and it's enjoyable.

America's Sweethearts feels especially stupid for not offering Azaria's casting as some sort of auto-critique.
09/13/01
The so-called 'behind-the-scenes' intrigue often fails to rise above a television sitcom.
08/14/01
What happens when satire gets lazy.

Both harmlessly cynical and deeply fatuous.

Coming out the loser in the mess is Joe Roth, who shows that heading movie studios hasn't done any favors for whatever directorial ability he may have once had.

"Less a romantic comedy than a scathing commentary on the uselessness and inanity of everyone in Hollywood."

The set-up is slow and weak, but once it gets rolling, it works pretty well.

As plastic as the films it attempts to lampoon.
08/02/01
a tepid update of the screwball comedy formula with vaguely satiric overtones
08/02/01
America's Sweethearts is a balloon, all right -- a lead one.
08/02/01
It is ironic that while the film tries to demystify its celebrities by showing their 'true' identities, it simultaneously creates a myth for the Julia Roberts character Kiki.
07/30/01
As a Hollywood satire, America's Sweethearts is toothless. As a romance, it is at best a minor pleasure.
07/30/01
A boring, brain-dead flop.
07/27/01
Too cynically slick and emotionally shallow.
