Plot
Film publicist Lee Phillips (Billy Crystal) is promoting Time Over Time, a movie featuring beloved husband-and-wife stars Gwen Harrison (Catherine Zeta-Jones) and Eddie Thomas (John Cusack), who have made countless popular films together. However, the eccentric director Hal Weidman (Christopher Walken) won't let anyone see the film until its premiere at a press junket, complicating Lee's job. And worse yet: Gwen and Eddie, once dubbed “America's Sweethearts”, have an ugly breakup.
