March 19, 2012Interesting concept to a satire, but a very unfunny screenplay, and just make us lose a good time seeing more one dumb romantic comedy with famous making fun of they self. Rotten.

July 3, 2011A comedy about celebrity, family and other forms of insanity.
Not bad but not so good either. America's Sweethearts is one of those movies where if you've seen the preview, you've seen the movie. The story was kinda dull and boring at times. Hank Azaria's accent was one the ugli... read more -

November 20, 2009It's about as good as you're going to get with the typical romantic comedy formula. It has a great cast that work well off each other, but it is extremely predictable and cliched. Still, it's worth a watch. Fluff isn't always bad to watch, it can get you optimistic if nothing else.

Rita Kempley, Washington Post
The premise falters along with much of the shtick.

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
Both harmlessly cynical and deeply fatuous. Full Review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
America's Sweethearts is a balloon, all right -- a lead one.
July 27, 2001
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
Too cynically slick and emotionally shallow. Full Review
July 24, 2001
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
A lackluster screwball comedy and dubious Julia Roberts vehicle. Full Review
July 23, 2001
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
A clunky ribbing of the movie industry. Full Review
July 20, 2001
David Edelstein, Slate
The movie is a polished muddle, fitfully amusing but with no spine. Full Review

Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
Doesn't contain a single genuine emotion. It's just as bogus and hollow as the movie business it portrays. Full Review
