In this romantic comedy, Catherine Zeta-Jones and John Cusack play the Hollywood couple who've split up since making their last film together. Billy Crystal plays the film publicist who has to reunite them for the press junket taking place at an isolated Nevada hotel. What he can't account for is Zeta-Jones's current wild-card boyfriend, Hank Azaria, and Cusack transferring his affections from his ex-wife to her sister and personal assistant, Julia Roberts. The scene is set for a showdown and it's all very funny in a daft, predictable kind of way. But Crystal's script lacks the bite that could have made it so much better, in spite of some memorable Tinseltown grotesques served up by Stanley Tucci and Christopher Walken. For a quality satire on the subject, try David Mamet's State and Main instead.

In the midst of a nasty public breakup of married movie stars, a studio publicist scrambles to put a cap on the escalating situation as the couple's latest film has found it's only print kidnapped by the director.
