    It's gentle, warm and funny rather than being a hilarious attack on Hollywood. Yes it captures the natures of Hollywood fads and the shallow nature of the industry, but never in a convincing way. This isn't ALtman's The Player. Some celebrity cameos are quite funny with Cameron a...( read more)nd Scorsese parodying themselves, but they do feel rather thrown in at the last minute. Not enough of Bridges, who can own any film, and Brooks just comes off as whiny and stupid. Perhaps it could have been better if the screenplay to Brooks' movie within a movie sounded any good, but all Stone can inspire is a tepid Hollywood idea like so many others.

    A screen-writer (Albert Brooks) who desperately needs inspiration get helps from Sharon Stone who has him convinced that she's a modern-day muse. Despite an over-done musical score and an overly anxious Albert Brooks, I still found the movie to be very entertaining. Sharon Stone ...( read more)is very funny and the script is full of clever moments.

    I love when James Cameron comes to the muse and she tells him to stay out of the water. I wish he listened since his talent was wasted for years with him just making under-water documentaries. I also like how the muse gives Brooks and Rob Reiner the same idea for the same movie. The Muse isn't for everyone. But if you like movies about the people that make them, then films like the Player and the Muse are for you.

    A film worth watching.

    A perfectly watchable light comedy - but that's all you get. It's predictable and has no depth, while the filmmaking is competent, but no aspect is exceptional or inventive. Still, it passes the time and provides chuckles.

    Brooks is his typical sarcastic, sardonic self, in this Hollywood-poking movie. makes me miss LA in the 90's. So much has changed in less than 10 years thanks to e-mail. freakky
