So he and his dodgy collection of Mexican film makers and wannabee actors film Murphy without his knowledge. Luckily Murphy is a member of a weird wacko religion called Mindhead which is astonishingly similar to Scientology in that they believe in aliens and are deeply paranoid. Murphy ...
...aliens (which he is). Meanwhile Heather Graham as the ingenue actress shags her way up the ladder. Favorite line: "Where do I go to be an actress? I've given myself a week to make it!" This is a very funny film, sarky and witty. Eddie Murphy shows just what a talented comedien he is and Steve Martin is triumphant. It has a feelgood ending but it's not the usual saccharine comedy fayre. Thoroughly recommend as a laugh out loud comedy and a look ... Read review

Well, they did disappoint me slightly, as the only R2 version I can get is either in German with an alternate English soundtrack, ...
