Here is some "capsule" review from Newhouse News Service which was released on July 30, 2001. There were many about movies to come and some that have been out for awhile.

FILM CLIPS: Capsule reviews of current movies; stars range from zero to four...

"AMERICA'S SWEETHEARTS" Imagine the Bruce/Demi breakup. Now imagine they had a joint movie to publicize right afterward. That's the strong idea behind this Billy Crystal/Julia Roberts backstage comedy. Too bad, though, that most of the male leads seem miscast and only Catherine Zeta-Jones, as a pampered movie princess, gets the wicked edge of the comedy absolutely right. The film contains vulgar language and sexual innuendo. Rated PG-13. Running time: 100 minutes. TWO AND A HALF STARS
