This is a brilliantly funny movie that marks Steve Martin's reappearance in the movie industry. It is another huge Martin success with laughs appearing all of the time. The basic plot is that Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) is a failed Hollywood director until he finds a script that is to rescue his career. The only problem being he has no stars to appear in the movie and no money to pay any stars. This is where Eddie Murphy comes in. Murphy plays 2 parts in the film, a big Hollywood star called Kit and also he plays Kit's geeky brother. Bowfinger gets around the problem of not having a star in his movie by filming Kit and have his actors run up to Kit and say their lines and then the whole thing is edited together. The hilarious tricks that the actors in Bowfinger's movie are doing to Kit, make kit have a nervous breakdown to the point where he thinks alien life forms are chasing him! The film is edited together and becomes a huge success with Kit eventually giving his consent to show him as being in the film for proper because Bowfinger bribes him by showing a video of him as a flasher, flashing to some cheerleaders!! Theres the basic plot anyway and I would heavily urge anyone out there to go out and get this video because it will have you in stitches and takes Martin back to the top again after his not so successful outing as Bilko.
