The Muse

1999
Drama
1h 37m
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.

Clearly Brooks' worst film yet. He seems tired, obviously weighed down by the same Hollywood pressures he weakly criticizes in this film, and his jokes lack their usual spark. Furthermore, the casting is weak, with both Sharon Stone and Andie MacDowell letting the film down. The cameos from 90s Scorsese, James Cameron and Rob Reiner (who is the same as 2014 Rob Reiner) liven it up slightly.

This is a broad comedy and the performances go according to it. Stone is funny in most of her scenes and Brooks comes off as a cheap Woody Allen wannabe. Still, it's mostly entertaining even without a proper third act conclusion.

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.

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.

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.
