The Muse Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Hillel Italie
"The Muse'' is an intelligent, undemanding comedy.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Satire, Hollywood in-jokes won't appeal to kids.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Typically fresh and idiosyncratic in the writing but often flat directorially.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
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.
USA Today
Susan Wloszczyna
There are lots of punchy lines, but the one-joke movie doesn't have all that much to say.
Film.com
Ernest Hardy
What's most surprising about The Muse is how derivative, cliche-ridden and old-hat it is.
Film.com
Peter Brunette
It's imaginative enough to provide a reliable, pleasurable stream of chuckles and midsized laughs.
San Jose Mercury News
David L. Beck
A dark and often unattractive movie.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
An embarrassment.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
Perversely amusing!
The Hollywood Reporter
David Hunter
The central conflicts are either creepingly unengaging, unpalatable or so muted as to be nonexistent.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
The Muse might have worked better if it didn't presume that we're all as interested in the machinations of Hollywood as Brooks is.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
The list of great moments is virtually endless!
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
A knockout satire!
New York Post
Rod Dreher
It's good for some sterling one-liners and a generous handful of sparkling scenes, but after a strong, peppery start, the movie collapses into bland mush for want of anything interesting to say.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Smart, funny -- and edgy.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
One of Brooks' most broadly entertaining films.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
The casting is so right, the inside-Hollywood zingers so wicked, the whimsical premise so fresh, that the occasional slack moments rarely get in the way.
