I love John and I love Julia, they're the only reasons I watched this. And it didn't disgust me completely (there are some funny moments), but I loathed the fact that Julia's character was supposed to be fat, and then John's character realizes he's loved her all along, but only does so after she's lost weight "and looks incredible." Seriously? :/

Completely standard rom-com, but the cast makes it work more than most of its ilk. That it's a movie about movies (sort of. junkets, anyway) or that the script is co-written by Billy Crystal and has a slight amount of his wit to it certainly help the cause, but I find movies that cast Julia Roberts as plain-jane nobody girls -- especially ones with retarded names like Kiki -- to be...disingenuous. I guess I'm just a sucker for Cusack and Crystal but I enjoyed this, just not enough to recommend.

Low quality satire.

What a boring movie with 4 famous actors, a stupid story and Christopher Walken in a small part looked like Jesus.

This squanders so badly because it fails to uphold the courage of its convictions. Something is definitely off about the whole enterprise. Where it should be a lethally funny attack at the cliches of the Hollywood system, it holds no true insight or daring. And where it should be a cute romance, it is -- for lack of a better word -- sterile. Roth wasted the talents of a large bevy of people who probably should have known better in the first place.

An incredibly forgettable romantic comedy. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I honestly can't remember much of the plot. I guess this is what happens when Crystal tries to write a film.

Underrated. Actually a respectable romantic comedy.

This just in: Hollywood is shallow and fake, Julia Roberts is pretty, and entertainment reporters are freeloading numbskulls. These are the themes covered in this disappointing romantic comedy. Roth hasn't directed a film in over 10 years, and it shows here. But beneath the rust, there are some funny moments, mostly including Walken as the crazy director who has taken his own film hostage.

Artificial and boring plot. The good cast makes it even harder to bear

Hollywood adores satirize itself. But that was not funny. Totally artificial. A pity, because there are some good actors.

Utterly soulless

good
