The film has a good idea with a very impressive cast ranging from the old well-known actors like Steve Martin to the upcoming like Jamie Kennedy of Scream fame. So how could this film be so bad? Is this film
a comedy, as I failed to laugh once? The script is just as poor as the one in the film that Martin is trying to sell. Martin does an ok job as Bowfinger, but Murphy (in two separate roles) was very poor, he should stick to action flicks. If you are just looking for a few hours of to waste, Bowfinger is it. If you are actually looking for a good movie though, you could do better than this. If you are a Martin fan then try some of earlier stuff like Lonely Guy or even Father of the bride. I'd heard that some people liked it and may too!
