America's Sweethearts
Trying to describe why this movie may be better than what most critics think is like telling a joke that begins with: "A man goes to his Rabbi...".
Of course, it is easy to say that what is told here is not really Hollywood. Of course not.
On the other hand, why not? Funny is mostly nothing but an exaggeration, therefore why not take it as a satire. Many films play with this sort of satire, even if only in certain dialogues. Such as references to actors, Oscar winners and movies, as well as the lengendary comment of a "model" telling her actor boyfriend that she needed a shower and had to throw up before she could go out, as in "In an Out".
So why not?
A separated couple, both actors, have to reunite in order to promote their latest movie. Why not? This has definitely happened before, but why would we want to know if it wasn't at all fun(ny). This is. Both ways.
So. What more do you want? America's Sweetheaerts has love, revenge, silly jokes, good ones, even, and also envy, and jealousy, humour, wisdom, slapstick, serious moments, covered up with humour again, and, on top of everything, many, many quotable lines.
Gwen: Kiki? What was that movie called?
Kiki: I don't give a shit!
Eddie: No, that wasn't it.
This was an example. And here's another one: Life i a cookie.
Just like this movie.
