An average movie

I wasn't expecting much from this flick but since it was starring Jeff Bridges, I thought I should check it out anyway. Eventually, it was pretty average though. There was a decent cast (Albert Brooks, Sharon Stone, Andie MacDowell, Jeff Bridges and many cameos) and the whole thing had some potential but it just didn't work for me. I mean, Albert Brooks was pretty funny, but Sharon Stone (or her character) was just way too obnoxious. From then, the movie is just a failure as the so-called muse is supposed to be inspiring, and not annoying to death... Honestly, I'm not really familiar with Albert Brooks' work as a director (as a matter of fact, it is the only movie he directed that I have seen so far) but he seems to have some talent, reminding me of Woody Allen's neurotic work, and there were here and there a few funny scenes. Still, it supposed to be a satire of the film community in Hollywood but, most of the time, it was just not funny and a satirical comedy which is not funny is rather pointless if you ask me. To conclude, even though it did have some potential, it is just a really average comedy and it is not really worth a look.
