Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

betty dalton Albert Brooks has got a writer's block. Sharon Stone as a muse promises him she will help him write a new best seller. Will it work and at what cost?Albert Brooks movies are known for it's laid back charm and tongue in cheek jokes. None other than Albert Brooks himself can play a whining "clown" better. He is sort of a Woody Allen type, constantly complaining and worrying, but all these troubles get delivered in funny oneliners.This comedy really is to die for. Lots of hilarious cameos by great directors like Martin Scorsese (Good Fellas) and James Cameron (Avatar). Jeff Bridges and Andie McDowwel play the supporting parts and I love them for it.Seen it multiple times now and the jokes stay fresh and funny thanks to excellent story written by the director/actor Albert Brooks himself. Especially recommended for hollywood moviegeeks.

philipdavies I have just discovered Albert Brooks, with his film The Muse. I can see why he is known as a West Coast Woody Allen.The Muse is both elegantly witty and laugh-out-loud funny by turns.The notion of a nearly-man so desperate for success that he is willing to suspend all reason, and believe that he can be rescued from his imminent Hollywood screen-writing oblivion by a woman claiming to be the Muse of Greek Mythology made real in flesh and blood, but who turns out to be only a particularly resourceful runaway from the local (shall we say) Home for the Oddly Gifted, is sublime! Sharon Stone s performance as the self- and omni-delusive (her psychiatrists, though amazed and amused, know otherwise!) Muse is outstanding. She effortlessly obliterates the wooden acting of the strangely-featured Andy McDowell throughout.As madly demanding actress - for that IS what she is doing in reality - and - in the final payoff - harridan Studio head she is just superb, and through her the film s high concept is perfectly - and delightfully - pitched.I cannot speak highly enough of this team of Brooks and Stone.

bencilento I am a big fan of all the main players here. The characters in the movie are well thought out and the dialogue allows for good characterization. There are some problems with technical errors and continuity in the movie but to me they are minor. The real problem for me lies with Albert Brooks' character. His portrayal of the neurotic man...is as always excellent, but in this movie it is a little overdone. The problem is that I don't like his character and you are kind of required to like him in order to like the film. There is a fine line between being made to feel uncomfortable in a comedic way and wanting to kill the main character because he is an idiot.Maybe i am just a spoilsport but his character makes me want to wring his neck and to me it just isn't as funny as it should be because of this. It was okay but just didn't get there.

sdtoneymd I know that most people are very demanding of the movies they watch. That being said, I guess I'm not one of them. I have owned "The Muse" for about three years, and I usually watch it about once a year, after being reminded of its existence on cable/HBO. I always enjoy it every time I watch it. I think Sharon Stone portrays her character with class and humor; not to mention that she is one of the most stunning women ever to be in motion pictures. While I do think that by the end of this movie, you'll probably have had enough of Albert Brooks' whiney, monotonous voice, some of his lines and "sound effects" are rather funny. Andie MacDowell is a beautiful woman, and while her characters are never really memorable, I feel she is a good actress, and entertaining to watch in movies.This movie is a light-hearted, film of mindless entertainment. Certainly, it is not one for the "Hall of Fame", but if you're looking for an amusing story, with attractive scenery (who doesn't like looking at Hollywood mansions), and a plot you don't have to race to keep up with, "The Muse might be for you.
