    Christopher Walken has the best moments in the whole thing, portraying the wacked-out auteur of the Gwen-and-Eddie vehicle. Sadly, he's only in America's Sweethearts a few hilarious minutes.

    Turns the kleig lights around to produce a wry and dead-on commentary on the film industry and the journalists who cover it.
