  • Starring: John Cusack, Julia Roberts
  • Summary: For an awkward, self-conscious girl like Kiki (Roberts), being the personal assistant to a beautiful mega-star like Gwen (Zeta-Jones) isn't easy. But when she dutifully accepts the task of helping Gwen and her estranged mega-star husband Eddie (Cusack) make it through one last public appearance masterminded by legendary press agent Lee Phillips (Crystal), forever devoted Kiki finds that her job is about to get even harder.

    Turns the kleig lights around to produce a wry and dead-on commentary on the film industry and the journalists who cover it.

    As enjoyable as this film is in parts, it's not nearly as successful as a whole. Enormously engaging in its opening segments, it's unable to sustain that good feeling over the long haul.

    It's mostly terrible. The movie has no sparkle, no charm, nothing to sweep us off our feet.

    One of my all-time top 20 worst movies, right up there with Batman and Robin, and VI Warshawski…writhingly banal and aggressively unfunny. You can't believe a film can manage to waste the combined talents it has on tap (Crystal himself and Julia Roberts are the least of it…try Catherine Zeta-Jones, John Cusack, Hank Azaria, Stanley Tucci and even Christopher Walken), but this one does. Primarily Crystal's fault, for a genuinely dreadful script, but also a good deal of the blame can be attributed to producer and former Disney chairman Joe Roth, who somehow talked people who should have known better (including Crystal) into letting him direct (Christmas at the Kranks, anyone?). Bad, bad, bad.… Expand
