Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   C+ Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Adjust your expectations accordingly and you'll have a good time, even during the film's much less effective second half." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...it's fitfully funny but never really takes off." more... C   Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington "The idea is fine; it's the script that's faulty." more... C   Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "The action unwinds with energy and wit, so far as it goes, and Mr. Pacino's zest for his absurd role is amusing." more... B- E! Online "Only cameos by Winona Ryder (as a demonstrative diva) and Jay Mohr (as a clingy actor) briefly breathe life into this malfunction." more... C- filmcritic.com Norm Schrager "It might sound contrived to say that a film about a computer-generated movie star is a little flat but… well, there it is." more... B- Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "...never fully establishes the credibility of its premise nor does the satire have much sting." more... C- Los Angeles Times Kenneth Turan "...unpleasantly glib and relentlessly shallow..." more... D   New York Post Jonathan Foreman "...staggers between flaccid satire and what is supposed to be madcap farce." more... C   New York Times Elvis Mitchell "...like the punch line to a joke that's been going around for years. It has been told better, and been funnier, elsewhere." more... C   ReelViews James Berardinelli "For most of the running length, Simone is just uninspired movie-making." more... C   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "...the end just nose-dives into something silly and, worse, sentimental." more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...a lot of fun." more... B   Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak "...the success of Simone lies in its human element." more... B+ USA Today Claudia Puig "...a witty and sharply written Hollywood satire that is entertaining, if a bit directionless." more... B- * Yahoo!
