Though I was a bit skeptical about watching this film due to the low ratings, I did really enjoy this film. Albert Brooks is my all time favorite comedian and this yet again showed off his talents with writing, directing, and acting. Albert Brooks's writing in this film is witty and hilarious with a great concept and the characters still being layered and interesting. Sharon Stone also does a great job at giving the titular muse an individualality. Though not one of Brooks's best pictures, The Muse makes it clear that Brooks hasn't lost his edge.

The Muse was delightful. Funny, charming, innovative - I loved the characters and Hollywoods gentle mocking of itself. Sharon Stone shows a comedic side and holds the heart of the picture throughout.

Let me tell you something Albert, real muses do not get put up in ritzy hotels or have grandiose expensive requests, NO, they have comedians texting them at 2am going "Did you want to hitchhike to Canada and pay for my hotel bill?" and you reminding them, "You clown...that $100 I sent was because you had Cancer, not for you to keep your unsuccessful career alive!". But, maybe Sharon Stone-like muses are the only muses The Angels provide, and you have to write what you know. I love everything about you Albert Brooks except your timing, your timing has always bothered me. You are too tight with your jokes, they are too well constructed, and it's like a great jazz man who is always on top of the beat and hasn't learned to swing it. You always know the beats to play, but they are just too neat. Please get sloppy for me. I need a replacement for Woody Allen stat, but, I need to make sure the timing is right.

The script is slow and fails to bring about any laughs.

Ok...those who know me know that I like a little quirkiness every now and then. It's mostly in my music, but sometimes in my movies. I love Albert Brooks movies too. Broadcast News single handedly made me want to be an executive producer in 온라인카지노추천 news and sparked me to enter Radio/온라인카지노추천/Film in college. The night I am writing this spotlight happens to be THE night I actually watched The Muse. It was adorable, quirky, quite funny and just a relaxing movie to watch. Let me tell you all about it... The dialogue in Brooks' movies always comfort me, humor me and make me feel so down-to-Earth. I think, for the most part, people are insecure about a lot of things. And in the same vein as Woody Allen, Brooks does an excellent job of being the average Joe who cannot catch a break. Yes his characters can get annoying (they actually seem to annoy most of the women I know), but that is his forte. The key to Brooks is making a movie with intelligent, humorous dialogue and memorable characters who touch us in some way, if even to annoy us. The realism he brings to the screen always intrigues me. In The Muse, Brooks does what has been done in several movies, and that is present Hollywood making fun of Hollywood. They tried it in Bowfinger, with some success, Get Shorty, with MUCH success, and now The Muse. Now, I'm not a big Sharon Stone fan (acting that is), but she pulls off her character very well as the Muse. She is self-absorbed, whiny and demanding. Ok, maybe she did not need to do that much acting, but she looks great on the screen and is very believable as a beautiful inspiration to middle-aged men. Albert, for the second time that I know of, plays a Hollywood career man. He is a screenwriter who has "lost his edge." His movies have become stale and the studio he had signed a deal with drops him. Suddenly he is out of work and old news. The scene where he tries to meet with Steven Spielberg and is issued a "walk on" pass to the studio rather than a "drive on" pass indicated just how fast Hollywood can love ya, then spit ya out as used up food. Desperately searching for some sort of inspiration to bring him back his edge, he goes to visit his best friend Jack, played by Jeff Bridges. Jack has had recent success in Hollywood, including an Oscar, and attributes it to a Muse. It takes some convincing, but Brooks' desperation leads him to try anything. He soon begins doing whatever it takes to win the Muse's interest as a prospective "client." Without telling you the whole story, the meat of the movie centers around what the Muse does (or doesn't do) to help bring him inspiration. The situations, dialogue and unbelievable things that happen while trying to build back Brooks' edge have even the audience suckered in to the Muse's abilities. By the end of the movie (and I cannot give away too much), everyone in the movie and watching the movie are dumbfounded by the things that happen just by trying and how silly things we could do every day are chalked up to the inspiration or brilliance of others. It is such a cute movie, perfect for couples who just want a silly movie to watch. My wife and I loved it. The Muse has a couple of messages that are pretty straight-forward. First of all, Hollywood is a big joke. I honestly cannot believe how anyone can base their career in Hollywood. The only place worse is Washington DC. Also, It does not matter what you use to inspire you to do great things. However, the point is, YOU CAN DO GREAT THINGS! Everyone can. Everyone has a different way of bringing it to fruition, but we all have it in us. We just need to bring it out. In summary, I recommend seeing The Muse. Warning though...the ending is a bit cheesy. It's cute, but cheesy. It's also full of cameos by TONS of Hollywood favorites, including Jennifer Tilly, James Cameron, Martin Scorcese, Rob Reiner, Steven Wright and many more. When you are feeling like something fluffy, go rent it.

A comedic romp about a woman (Stone) who seems to inspire Hollywood filmmakers, who are in creative slumps. The casting is perfect and Brooks' writing is biting.

The muse is a funny little comedy that owes a lot to Sharon Stone & Andie McDowell. Stone being an ever charming leading lady finds here a great source of material to showcase her talent as an entertainer. The film is smart, interesting & catchy.

Manages to go the entire 90 minutes or so without ever really making you laugh, though it appears to always be on the verge of accomplishing this.

Great movie, gets better every time I watch it! What's with the negative reviews?

One of my favorite movies. I know it didn't get good reviews, but for some reason, it always leaves me feeling good and some of the scenes hit a silly funny bone in me.

Love this movie. A great send up of the film industry with the wit of Albert brooks. A movie I can watch over and over

Good Brooks but not great Brooks.

This is my all time FAVORITE movie. It is the perfect metaphor for the creative process. The plot is superb and the whimsy is a joy. I defy anyone to say this isn't a fully entertaining and original movie!

It was funnier than I thought it would be.

Albert Brooks' The Muse is definitely one of the best Hollywood satires in recent memory. Albert Brooks stars as a screenwriter who has has lost 'his edge". His friend tells him a well kept secret about a muse (Sharon Stone) who is turns out is pretty much responsible for all of the successes of Hollywood. It a gentle satire, that keeps things rather gentile while creating a fun look into the like of an eccentric screenwriter. Sharon Stone gives one of her best performances as the droll muse, whose demanding ways begin to get on the nerves of Brooks. Its not a hilarious comedy by any means buts its charming, witty and smart enough to entertain. Plus, it features some great cameos from Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, etc.

love sharon stone's character in this movie , so funny , little things can be improved .

Not bad, not great. The cameos were the best part.

Original neurotic comedy, Albert Brooks' The Muse it's not very funny, dispite being entretaining.
