Today’s movie: America’s Sweethearts

Basically, I will see any movie with John Cusack in it and almost any movie with Julia Roberts. Billy Crystal, who wrote and produced this film, if he’s being funny. So it was only a matter of time (six days actually) until I saw America’s Sweethearts, a sweet, funny movie. Christopher Walken makes a short but potent appearance at the end as the director of the movie-within-a-movie that is the point of America’s Sweethearts and he turns everything upside down.

This film had a bigger opening weekend (that is, had a higher take at the box office) than any of Cusack’s previous films, even Con Air but this is probably due more to Robert’s pull. It is apparently the second biggest opening for her.
