  • Starring: John Cusack, Julia Roberts

    Turns the kleig lights around to produce a wry and dead-on commentary on the film industry and the journalists who cover it.
  2. Terrifically funny romantic comedy, is a slam-dunk for Julia Roberts, the Michael Jordan of cuteness.
  3. 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.
  4. 30
    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
