Written by Albert Brooks
IMDB

Albert Brooks stars essentially as himself, a screenwriter. In this reality he is a more mainstream writer, though, who is losing his edge. He is put in contact with a muse, played by Sharon Stone. This muse is supposed to guide him into creating his greatest work yet. When she starts helping his wife (Andie McDowell) start a very successful cookie business, he gets jealous. He wants all the musing for himself.
I liked this film, but did not love it. It is a very able comedy and Albert Brooks is always great, in my opinion. The scenes without Brooks are not particularly funny, but Brooks has the funniest delivery to me. He is the best guest star on my favorite show, The Simpsons. I would still recommend seeing this film, even though it is far from perfect. You get a few laughs and you probably will not feel like you wasted your time watching it.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
