What do you get when you put Billy Crystal, John Cusack, Catherine Zeta Jones, Julia Roberts, Hank Azaria, Stanley Tucci, Seth Green, Rain Wilson, The Hyatt Hotel, A sixty pound fatsuit, a billowy poolside figure in white, Christopher Walken, a bunch of Hebrew-esque humor, press junkets and a terrible Spanish accent? Well…you get another reason to crack open that jug of Drano and call it a life. But before that happens, listen to your heart. Your so-sweet-its-pre-diabetic-heart. The year is still young, and this is America. America’s Sweethearts(2001), a movie about movies that centers around everything we don’t care about with movies: Press Junkets and publicity. Two publicists try to mend a broken relationship between two celebrities who used to give America a reason to believe in love. A sloppy love triangle ensues, replete with scrambled eggs being tossed into a lap. Spoiler! Dave and Noah steal a house. Podcasting from this venue inspires them to make a few resolutions. Dave raids the liquor cabinet and finds crappy snacks while Noah reveals a shameful, shameful secret. Noah eats a bag of nuts while Ollie looks on, his eyes dead, his mouth panting, his tongue yearning. Happy New year, and thanks for the listen!
