synopsis
Kiki Harrison is the devoted personal assistant to beautiful, narcissistic megastar Gwen Harrison. She also happens to be Gwen's sister. Life with her famous sister has never been easy for the awkward and self-conscious Kiki, but it's about to get even harder since she's agreed to help Gwen and her estranged actor husband Eddie Thomas reunite for one last public appearance to promote their latest movie. Veteran press agent Lee Phillips, on the brink of being replaced by his younger protege, is put in charge of masterminding this highly anticipated event. With Kiki as his secret weapon, Lee just might make this weekend go off without a hitch. At first it seems Lee and Kiki's biggest challenge is to maintain the peace between Gwen and Eddie and keep their high profile image intact, but soon Kiki finds she's faced with a more important concern as her longtime friendship with Eddie surprisingly begins to take a romantic turn.

Meant as a romantic-comedy alternative to creature features such as Jurassic Park III …
America's Sweethearts treats audiences to an insider's look at the wacky world of moviemaking, where diva-esque behavior, schizophrenic directors, greedy studio execs, beleaguered assistants and break-ups of popular movie star couples are all just part of everyday Hollywood. Story Welcome to the world of the ''press junket,'' that fascinating media circus where the press is invited to view a film before its opening and interview the people who made it. In this case, the ''stars'' are Eddie… |
