Summary: Bowfinger
Review: This movie is hillarious. I love all the jokes and the cast. This movie is about a small time movie company who is run by Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin). All his people want to quit but he says if he dosen't get this movie to work he will let them do what they want. He goes to lunch and sits next to a very big movie producer. The producer says if he can get Kit Ramsey (1 of Eddie Murphys carachters) he has a go picture. Well Kit says no so they film him in the movie , but he dosen't know. Then theres in's and out's that are hillarious. This Movie ROCKS!

Summary: Excellent Campy Satire
Review: I love Steve Martin AND Eddie Murphy. Therefore I figured I wouldn't miss with this film, and I was right! I laughed so hard, my stomach muscles were sore for a couple days after watching this. Martin wrote the script and his spoof of the Church of Scientology was absolutely priceless. The organization that Kit (keeping it together) belonged to was called MindHead. But no one could miss the comparisons to Scientology. And when Steve Martin's character said, "You know, Tom Cruise didn't know he was in that vampire movie until two years afterward..." Well, I nearly hit the floor laughing. And Heather Graham as the starlet who would sleep with anyone to further her career was hilarious. Eddie Murphy as his nerdy brother was simply the best though. I actually believed he was two different people. Steve and Eddie together. You can't get any better than this!

Summary: MARTIN + MURPHY = MAYHEM !
Review: Reviewer: tee-vee-stevie from Hull, England Alliteration has been used for centuries to provide harmony to stories, poems and slogans. So how appropriate that Eddie and Steve's surnames should both share the same first consonant, and also with that of magic, madness, majestic, mayhem and magnificent! (get the idea?). Martin 'n' Murphy give one of the best performances of their distinguished careers and work so well together. Especially Martin who has been languishing on the side lines in recent years, this is possibly his best film since his 1979 classic 'The Jerk'. The film has one of the most original plots for a comedy from the decade, and is done in exactly the style that you would expect from mixing the talents of Steve and Eddie. It has the energy and blatant humour of a Murphy film and eccentricity and thoughtfulness of a Martin movie. The result? Complete madness! The mayhem starts when a small time, 'wannabe' film maker, Bobby Bowfinger (played by Martin) is delivered a script about aliens (by his accountant! ). Bowfinger loves it and believes it can be a great success. He attempts to persuade one of Hollywood's stars, Kit Ramsey (Murphy) to appear in the picture, but when the star turns him down the film is in great danger of becoming yet another failed project. Not having the heart to tell his crew that the film is off, Bobby decides to film the movie with Kit Ramsey in anyway...without him knowing that he is in it and the other actors and crew not knowing that he isn't! What follows is an hilarious onslaught of comedy moments that I am sure will stand the test of time and this film will be remembered as a true classic. Not just for the plot but also because of the majestic performances given by the cast. Murphy yet again plays more than the one role and brings magic to both. Heather Graham gives a performance equal to that of her recent role as Felicity Shagwell in Austin Powers and the supporting cast do exactly that, they support. I actually find it hard to find a fault with this movie, i've seen it twice in the last two days and it still hasn't revealed any weaknesses. The dvd itself is better than average, offering a package that includes outtakes, deleted scenes and a directors commentary. The disc provides clarity in both sound and picture which makes watching Bowfinger an entirely magnificent experience. I hope you think so too.

Summary: O my what a great movie!
Review: I'm looking over the reviews people gave, "Bowfinger," the reviews are terrible! This is such a great movie. There are laughs all the time! It is terrible to see people who are "Top 500" reviewers, and there giving this movie a bad grade! This movie is such a hollywood movie, this is waht define Hollywood. It is such a different comedy instead of those comedy's out no. Don't get me wrong but this movie is so intelligent! First off, all the actors give such a good performence. Second, It's not a comedy that jsut drags on, which is always good. Third you don't get bored of the characters. Although most people don't mainly look for that in a movie it is something that all movie people should look for. This is such a good movie, go get it!

Summary: Stupid plot, but funny
Review: This is another Steve Martin "Ex-Comidian" movie. Steve Martin was funny but now he stinks. This was a totally unbelievable plot, and pretty stupid. It did have some funny parts to it though. Eddie Murphy was really great, playing 2 parts. I recommend it strictly for laughs.

Summary: Only 3 and a half stars? It can't be true
Review: This is one of the smartest and funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin give top notch comedic performances! You really know that this movie has it in for Hollywood when Murphy quips (as movie star Kit):'We're trying to make a movie here, not a film! This movie is about the down and out 'movie producer' Bobby Bowfinger (played by Steve Martin), who's basically a con artist covering up with his smooth-talking. He reads a script called 'Chubby Rain' and decides that it MUST be a movie. So he cons his way into getting a deal. The only catch? He has to get Kit to star in it. But when Kit refuses, and Bobby tells his other stars that Kit is going to be in it, the only other solution is filming the movie with Kit, except he doesn't know they're filming it. This premise ends up with hilarious results! And the way it makes fun of all things Hollywood (Heather Grahmn stars as Daisy, a girl who'll sleep with anyone to become a star and then becomes a lesbian, which is making fun of Anne Heche who slept with Steve to become famous and then went out with Ellen DeGeneres) makes you want to laugh as much as the story does. Overall this is a smart, hilarious comedy that is a MUST see! Go and rent it, buy it, whatever, just see it!

Summary: Really Funny! One of Eddie Murphy's best works!
Review: Eddie Murphy is well-known for usually playing more than one character in the same movie. In Coming to America, he played about 4 characters! Steve Martin brings his comedic brillance to the screen again, this time as the head of the independent film studio Bowfinger Productions. Overall, this movie is a great satire on the life of a ambitious set of movie makers and their studio.

Summary: Very amusing and very silly
Review: BOWFINGER * * * Very amusing, very silly satire on Hollywood. Eddie Murphy successfully creates two totally different characters, one a paranoid, arrogant action movie star , the other a dim-witted good-natured errand boy. Steve Martin wrote the clever script and co-stars,
