brook play a neurotic screenwriter who lose his writing edge and find a real life muse to put the spark back into his work . speaking of edge and it evident brook have lose his with this film . he try to poke fun at hollywood and but it mostly very light hearted and a bit disjointed and and only occasionally funny . brook have do some fine film in the past ( broadcast news and defend your life ) and but this isn not one of them . some interesting cameo from a variety of director and and a good comedic turn by sharon stone just can not save this movie . for a good and more cynical take on hollywood and see the player .
