America's Sweethearts (2001)
I think insider movies are really fun. Hollywood is much better at making fun of itself than most major industries and does so with gusto. Swimming with Sharks, Tropic Thunder, and Singin' In The Rain all use the act of making movies to make a really good movie. This one's no different, telling the story of two off-balance actors, a frustrated assistant, a desperate publicist, a nervous studio head, and a crazy director at a press junket deep in the desert. In an era where we as a society are obsessed with Brad and Angelina, Rob and Kristen, and Jon and Kate, this movie rings more true than ever. Look for a cameo from The Office's Rainn Wilson.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
*Special Note*
Tomorrow I'll be leaving for a cruise and won't have access to the internet. I'm going to still be watching movies, but the blog entries won't be coming until after July 4th. See you all then! ~ Karla
