Leave your thoughts about The Muse.
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonThe list of great moments is virtually endless. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe season's brightest piece of counterprogramming. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA real gem: a deadpan fantasy that turns into one of the best pictures ever about the post-"Star Wars" studio moviemaking era. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThe sharpest inside Hollywood comedy in quite a while. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsBetty Jo TuckerLike the character he plays here, Albert Brooks needed someone or something to re-inspire him while working on this plodding comedy. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatSqueezes out plenty of laughs at the expense of the Hollywood film community. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenThere's enough good fun in this yarn to make us believe that the highly talented Brooks has spent most of his creative time in the presence of his muse. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellA delectable comic performance by Sharon Stone. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldClever, often hilarious, inside-Hollywood farce that makes the most of... a delightfully absurd premise. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertGood but not great Brooks... but smart, funny -- and edgy. |
