Title: Formula Romance That Doesn't Work
Review: America's Sweethearts tries to be a romantic comedy using a canned formula, but it doesn't succeed on any level. It's hardly funny and certainly not very romantic. The plot is a foray into Hollywood's self-loathing that is not light-hearted enough to work. The characters are not very likable, which is an essential part of any romance. The attempts at humor are rarely funny. Billy Crystal happens to be a talented actor (such as he was in Princess Bride) and he deserves a better medium than this.
