News & Interviews for The Muse
Critic Reviews for The Muse
All Critics (78) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (41) | Rotten (37) | DVD (4)
"The Muse'' is an intelligent, undemanding comedy.
Quietly, consistently amusing.
There are bits in this movie that are so bright, so amusing and so truly, madly, deeply tied to a life most of us will never know, that you can't help watching the film with fascination.
The Muse is as consistently funny as it is smartly tooled.
The list of great moments is virtually endless!
It's imaginative enough to provide a reliable, pleasurable stream of chuckles and midsized laughs.
Audience Reviews for The Muse
Original neurotic comedy, Albert Brooks' The Muse it's not very funny, dispite being entretaining.
Super Reviewer
Albert Brooks tale of a Hollywood writer facing the end of his career is unintentionally ironic and kinda sad to watch. The help of major Tinseltown players do little to support a work wherein Brooks himself only comes across as bitter and alienating. Sharon Stone as the titular character: blech. Only Andie MacDowell escapes unscathed. Pass.
Super Reviewer
I normally like Albert Brooks's films. Obviously Broadcast News and Defending Your Life are fantastic, and in those films, his neurotic, Woody Allen demeanor is charming, clever, and funny. But here he's just annoying and occasionally he's almost creepily over-bearing. As a film, The Muse has a lot of wasted time spent on people driving in the "beautiful" plasticity of L.A. and banal dialogue like "You should call him." [Dramatic pause.] "I'll call him." A film exploring the writing process might have been more interesting, but like his character, I fear Brooks has lost his edge.
