America's Sweethearts Reviews
The talented cast works hard to keep this souffle from falling. Because of Roberts, America's Sweethearts is going to be seen by a lot of people. For best results, keep those expectations low.

So-so sitcom-like story of estranged movie stars.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 21, 2010
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006
The film isn't just banal, it's aggressively, arrogantly banal.
| Oct 29, 2002
The kind of flick that gives fluff a good name.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 19, 2002
The premise falters along with much of the shtick.

The script here is not funny, while the cast -- though star-studded -- is perfunctory.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2001
America's Sweethearts feels especially stupid for not offering Azaria's casting as some sort of auto-critique.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 13, 2001
Both harmlessly cynical and deeply fatuous.

America's Sweethearts is a balloon, all right -- a lead one.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 2, 2001
Too cynically slick and emotionally shallow.
| Jul 27, 2001
A lackluster screwball comedy and dubious Julia Roberts vehicle.

The script ... is crisp and fresh, the gags well-aimed and nastily barbed.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 23, 2001
A clunky ribbing of the movie industry.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 23, 2001
The movie is a polished muddle, fitfully amusing but with no spine.
Full Review | Jul 20, 2001
It's a perfectly fine setup for romantic-comedy capering, with enough good one-liners to satisfy. But Roth seems a bit at sea with his powerhouse cast.
| Jul 20, 2001
Doesn't contain a single genuine emotion. It's just as bogus and hollow as the movie business it portrays.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 20, 2001
Occasionally amusing, but also an irritating mess.
| Jul 20, 2001
As undemanding summer movies go, America's Sweethearts is surprisingly funny and sweet, despite some missed comic opportunities and curious casting choices.
