Comedian Billy Crystal co-wrote and co-stars in this acidly told tale about Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (John Cusack), a separated, bickering movie-star couple who "make nice" for the cameras at a press junket promoting their new movie together. Julia Roberts stars as Kiki, Gwen's sister and assistant who harbors a major crush on the oblivious Eddie, while Crystal plays the press agent who must mediate between the warring parties.

Gwen (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie (John Cusack) are America's Sweethearts...the country's favorite couple, on-screen and off. But when their very public romance turns into a very private breakup, only veteran press agent Lee (Billy Crystal) and Gwen's assistant, Kiki (Julia Roberts), can help Gwen and Eddie show some love while they promote their last film together. But the press junket is in a resort hotel miles from anywhere. And while Lee and Kiki frantically try to keep the media away from the real story and keep Gwen and Eddie from revealing their secret, Kiki finds something entirely unexpected in this romantic comedy about true love, happily ever after and other Hollywood endings.

Lee, a studio publicist, works desperately to keep several facts secret from reporters during a high-profile motion picture's press junket; especially the fact that the eccentric director is holding the film's print hostage.
