Summary: What happens when a screenwriter (Brooks) loses his edge, he turns to anyone he can for help... even if it's the mythical "Zeus's Daughter" (Stone). And he's willing to pay, albeit reluctantly, whatever price it takes to satisfy this goddess, especially when her advice gets him going again on a sure-fire script. However, this is not the limit of her help, she also gets the writer's wife (MacDowell) going on her own bakery enterprise, much to the chagrin of Brooks, who has already had to make many personal sacrifices for his own help. (imdb)

Albert Brooks's sixth directing effort is his first outright disappointment. It doesn't start out that way. The protagonist -- Brooks himself, of course, this time in the part of a mainstream screenwriter -- is close enough to Brooks in reality, a middle-aged Hollywood marginal who has "lost his edge" and is "past his prime," to lend tremendous conviction to his enervated, wan, whiny delivery.

I'll give Albert Brooks a C for effort, but Hollywood films about Hollywood are almost universally fucking awful.

Argh! The simply most terrifying film ever. I'll skip most comments on the subject matter by stating that it is just horribly LAME and pass right on to the script that is just so bad that it is unreal. I mean, I pinched myself, wondering if I was really seing this, hearing this. It's a great example of how you can take good actors like Bridges and MacDowell and submit them to signing a ten-year imprisonment contract for their (non)future careers. I'm glad they made it. Or at least Bridges did.

Pretty damn forgettable, but Brooks comes through with a few funny moments.

Albert is clever & amusing. The situations are well thought & offer plenty of room for laughs. His whining doesn't always carry the gags with the conviction to make me laugh, even though i would laugh telling someone else about it.
