- Synopsis
- What happens when a screenwriter (Brooks) loses his edge, he turns to anyone he can for help... even if it's the mythical "Zeus's Daughter" (Stone). And he's willing to pay, albeit reluctantly, whatever price it takes to satisfy this goddess, especially when her advice gets him going again on a sure-fire script. However, this is not the limit of her help, she also gets the writer's wife (MacDowell) going on her own bakery enterprise, much to the chagrin of Brooks, who has already had to make many personal sacrifices for his own help.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"A real gem: a deadpan fantasy that turns into one of the best pictures ever about the post-"Star Wars" studio moviemaking era"
-
"The execution of the script is perfect, as always, but it's the laziest script Brooks has ever directed"
-
"Good but not great Brooks... but smart, funny -- and edgy."
-
"An embarrassment--a fairy-tale showbiz satire that seems to defang itself, scene by scene"
-
"One of the more intelligent comedies out there this summer"
