Albert Brooks does a Streisand turn by writing, directing and starring in this mediocre movie. Sharon Stone plays a professional muse who Brooks hires to reinvigorate his screen writing career. Andie McDowell plays Brooks' wife, in keeping with the tradition that if you write, direct and star in a movie, you get to cast someone who's a lot prettier than you as your spouse. Lots of fun cameos by the likes of James Cameron, Martin Scorcese and Lorenzo Lamas fail to save this dreary comedy, though there are a good number of laughs in the first half hour. After that, it's just Sharon Stone acting so annoying that you want to reach through the screen and smack her.
