Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBilly Crystal had written the part of Eddie for himself years ago, but Joe Roth persuaded Crystal to take on the role of Lee the publicist, as he felt Crystal was too old to play the part by then.
- GoofsThe windows of Eddie's limo are darkly tinted while driving to the hotel. After he arrives and is looking at Gwen the window is no longer tinted.
- Quotes
Kiki: [imitating Gwen] "Oh, Kiki, my butter has touched another food. I need new butter." "Anything you want, honey." That's the way it goes, Lee. Right? You're a publicist, you know. Anything they want, right? She's got a green dress. Looks like crap on her. Brings out the circles under her eyes, she knows it, I know it. She gave it to me. It actually looks pretty nice on me. Then she said, well, maybe she wanted it back, you know? She doesn't want it, she just doesn't want me to have it. That's the truth.
- Alternate versionsThe first cut of the film was rated R by the MPAA. The studio removed some of the language and sexual innuendos to get their desired PG-13 rating.

The once golden Hollywood duo formerly known as "America's Sweethearts" has now split. This is the basic premise, but, the film actually belongs to the characters of Julia Roberts and Billy Crystal, who are basically, the catalyst's in the screenplay. It has it's share of hilarious moments, especially the sequences featuring Billy Crystal, which stand out. About a 102-Minutes long, this truly is a near classic for Me!
Roth's direction is perfect. Billy Crystal's screenplay is witty and has himself using the key. Phedon Papamichael Jr.'s Cinematography is quite good. Music by James Newton Howard is top-notch.
Performance-Wise: Billy Crystal is selfishly convincing. The writer awards, the actor in him, the best role. Julia Roberts is highly competent. Plus, she looks ravishing! John Cusack is likable. Catherine Zeta-Jones is over-the-top. Hank Azaria gets into the skin of the character, and comes out like a proper prop. Stanley Tucci is incredible. Christopher Walken is wasted, but even then, he plays his part with sincerity. Seth Green brings the house down, he is wonderful. Scot Zeller is passable.
On the whole, This Rom-Com works big time! A Genuine Thumbs Up!
