GREAT UNDERRATED COMEDY
Feb 27, 2008

I have always been perplexed why "Bowfinger" wasn't a bigger hit than it was. This movie is screamingly funny, with a great, nutty premise and absolutely wonderful performances by Steve Martin, Eddy Murphy and Christine Baransky, as well as the supporting... Full review

This is the kind of classic 'B' movie that gets funnier every time you watch it. I mean, it is laugh-out-loud funny. I do remember the first time I saw it I didn't think it was all that great but that's... Full review

This is one of my favorite movies. It is ten times funnier than Eurotrip, Old School, and Slackers. It is smart and funny. Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin are great together, and Eddie plays two parts. The rest of the cast... Full review
Big-up Bowfinger

The plot of this fim was a little predictable: it follows a central protagonist (Bowfinger) who attempts to make a movie despite seemingly insurmountable odds, however, thanks to Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy it is, at moments, hilarious. Murphy's ability to... Full review

This Movie Got A Bad Rap & I Don't Get It

tastyflamethrowa - yahoo.com
I guess this movie is a pretty silly, but it's Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin and you had to see it coming from the previews. It was exactly what it promised to be, a completely over-the-top, silly, witty comedy. It was... Full review

Akshaye Khanna plays a supposedly genius screenwriter who's waiting to direct his own film.....The director is the infamous writer-actor Neeraj Vohra.....The producer here has obviously confused big-budget to mean random lavish sets and holiday locations abroad for song-shoots..... ... Full Review

today, Bowfinger is a bit more notable for other reasons....because it may be the last time Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy have been funny on screen.Nearly every time Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy have done a movie....With Martin crafting the Hollywood satire and Murphy stealing the show in both parts, Bowfinger was a well regarded comedy....In the 80's, Martin and Murphy were probably the funniest people in the world....Martin didn't get back much critical good will with his two Cheaper by the Dozen films, ...

And slightly subversive" And at times, politically incorrect, as when Martin's script calls for illegal Mexican migrants to be picked up at the border to be used as cheap film crew. To realise his dream, he sets out to make a film called Chubby Rain, starring the world's greatest movie star, Kit Ramsay (Eddie Murphy) - but without Kit's knowledge. ... Full Review

To complete the cast, Bowfinger needs a big box office starto insure the film's success and give it industry creditability. Also, Bowfinger hires an unsuspecting & naive, nerdy delivery guy, "Jif" played by Murphy to photodouble Kit. ... Full Review

And that itself is already funnier than most characters in recent comedies. Doing double-duty as self-obsessed, neurotic Action moviestar Kit Ramsey and nerdy misfit Jiff, Mr. Murphy is the best he's been in a long time. ... Full Review
