The career of a disillusioned filmmaker, who is desperate for a hit, is endangered when his star walks off the film set. Forced to think fast, the producer decides to digitally create an actress "Simone" to sub for the star--the first totally believable synthetic actress. The "actress" becomes an overnight sensation, with a major singing career as well, and everyone thinks she's a real person. However, as Simone's fame skyrockets, he cannot bear to admit his fraud to himself or the world. (imdb)

People seem to really hate this movie, but it's really not that bad. First half is a pretty clever and funny parody of peoples obsession with celebrities but the second half it starts to fall apart. An uneven film, but not deserving of all the hate I see on here.

Tired, weak plot centering around ideas that sci-fi fiction had tackled 15 years ago.

Al Pacino is great as usual and the concept is interesting but the movie just isn't anymore more than good.

Disappointing film with an intriguing premise has a screenplay which fires off in multiple directions (sci-fi, satire, family drama) but can't settle on any of them. It doesn't help that the satirical points it wishes to make about manufactured celebrity are fairly obvious and 'soft' or that Simone's rise to fame (even in a satirical context) is never remotely believable (with the mock-up Oscar show the nadir). Thankfully performances are generally fine, though Pacino is oddly ineffectual.

Not very good at all. The whole time, I was distracted by the unbelievability of it to even realize how bad it was.

As with most things Andrew Niccol does, it's a great that idea that only reaches second or third gear. I think the big problem here is the casting: Pacino is always hard to like, Rachel Roberts is, even by CGI lifelessness standards, lifeless, and Evan Rachel Wood takes a small part and manages to make it standout with awful. Catherine Keener shines though and the screenplay, which isn't bad, requires you to just accept it and try not think too hard about it.

It's hard to believe that Pacino+Keener can = DUD, but -- believe it. This movie wasn't just bad, it was b-o-r-i-n-g. Dull and ridiculous (and not in a good way).

Underrated comedy about fame and obsession. Keener is in full bitch mode, and you know you love her when she plays it like that.

It's packed with good ideas, but Niccol just throws all of them away with a silly, long plot and uneven characters.

I'm not normally one to notice continuity errors but there were a couple of howlers here. Half family drama, half Hollywood satire, half sci-fi about art. That may sound like a lot but each was only half explored -for a 90 min film, it was 2 hours long. [df]

Part Hollywood send-up and part child of Hollywood, pic shows pitfalls of using gimmicks to sell movies and uses the same gimmick to sell the movie itself. Perfect Tinseltown logic. Writer/director/producer Niccol is in familiar techno-wizardry territory here, but doesn't match his previous efforts.

I really like what this movie said about false idols. How the world fell in love with this girl, and loved her even when she was trying to be gross and have people not like her, and all in all she wasn't even real.

Yeah, we GET IT.Simone is a HOLOGRAM, but everyone LOVES SIMONE! How can that be? She's a hologram! Yeah, BUT EVERYBODY LOVES HER! And the more the public don't see her, the more they WANT TO see her... Really, this is just about the only thing going on in the movie. This concept might have made a cool foundation for a music video or short film or something, but to spin this out into a feature length film? Even Pacino can't save it. 5 points for the cast and (just) bearable acting.
