About this movie

Critically acclaimed director Viktor Taransky (Academy award-winner Al Pacino - "The Godfather," "Scarface") has just lost his last shot at a comeback when his temperamental flesh and blood actress walked off his movie. Fired by his ex-wife and studio head, Taransky just lost any hope of recapturing his former life. But then computer genius Hank Aleno enters the picture. As his dying wish, Hank bequeaths software to Taransky that will change his life forever. Just a few key strokes and an overnight sensation is born: S1MØNE. S1MØNE is beautiful, she's talented, and she's virtually perfect in every way...except one. She's not real. Suddenly, Taransky has a taste of the success he always craved and the world's most beloved star under his thumb. Or does he? Starring Academy Award-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Winona Ryder ("The Age of Innocence," "Girl, Interrupted"), and Rachel Roberts (TV's "Ugly Betty," TV's "Entourage").

Ratings and reviews

I love Andrew Niccol movies, this one included. He's a masterful storyteller. That said, Google once again displays their utter lack of care and charity to the hearing impaired by attaching CLOSED CAPTIONS TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MOVIE to this film. So, I paid for it and now I can't watch it. Thanks for doing this again to me... not the second time, not the third time, not even the 15th time. You all suck. Plus, you made me give less than 5 stars to a film I love, just so you'll see this.

I was facinated with this movie! So different and with a twist! I've seen it elsewhere and want to buy it for my collection but not for $14.95.

Excellent, comedy film that'll cause you to howl with laughter from start to finish. .
