The Muse
Albert Brooks is Steven Phillips, a veteran screenwriter of 17 films who is told he has lost his edge. A fellow writer with a string of successes under his belt (Jeff Bridges) refers Phillips to Sarah (Sharon Stone), a professional muse (see Greek mythology). In exchange for the royal treatment and a showering of expensive gifts, she will grace writers with her presence, which seems to magically spark profitable ideas from the client's mind. Is her power real or is it all in her clients' heads

Background music to make you wish you were deaf!
I really love Albert Brooks. He has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' which mesmerizes me whichever movie he is in.

Good clean fun, humorous
This is one of those predictable, formula Hollywood movies. Script is okay, jokes are okay but not side splitting.
No great twists, acting passable, ... read more » - 824489
