Product Description

Product Description

How does Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin), Hollywood's least successful director, get Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), Hollywood's biggest star, in his ultra low-budget film? Any way he can. With an ingenious scheme and the help of Kit's eager and nerdy brother Jiff, an ambitious and sexy wannabe (Heather Graham) and an over-the-hill diva (Christine Baranski), Bowfinger sets out to trick Kit Ramsey into the performance of a lifetime. Enjoy the fun with Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin—together for the first time in the hit comedy Bowfinger.

  • Feature Commentary with Director Frank Oz
  • Deleted Scenes

Filmmakers often remark that it's just so hard to make a bad picture that few would take on the challenge if they weren't so naive. Steve Martin's Bobby Bowfinger is cut from that pattern, one of those sweet, indomitable operators of Hollywood who seem to be descended directly from Ed Wood (of Plan 9 from Outer Space infamy). To resurrect his ramshackle existence, Bowfinger opts to film his accountant's sci-fi spectacular, Chubby Rain, about aliens invading in raindrops. The snag is he needs to attach action megastar Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), an actor so paranoid he counts the K's in scripts to uncover possible Ku Klux Klan influences. When his effort fails, Bowfinger hits on an ingenious scheme to film Ramsey without his knowledge, throwing his actors at the hapless star whenever he appears in public. Only Kit begins to believe he's being hounded by aliens for real, and runs hysterically to his guru (Terence Stamp) at a Scientology-clone group called MindHead, where people walk around in fine suits wearing white pyramids on their heads. Deprived of his star, yet not to be undone, Bowfinger hires a look-alike, Jiff (also Eddie Murphy), to fill in. The tone of the picture is sometimes flat, rather than deadpan, but that's nitpicking. The farce is quick and engrossing, and populated with terrific performances, especially by Eddie Murphy, whose dual role as Kit and Jiff showcases his character-building gift, and by Martin, whose Bowfinger, part con man and part would-be visionary, manages to capture your sympathies. Heather Graham's would-be actress cheerfully sleeps her way to the top like she knows she's supposed to, and Christine Baranski plays her shopworn method actor with myopic self-absorption. --Jim Gay

    This has to be one of the most underated comedy movies to be made.True its not up there with the very best,but never the less it holds its own and betters many other rated comedy films.There are good performances from Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy and any fan of these two should not miss this tale of making a hit movie on a practical non existent budget.The scene were Eddie Murphy has to cross a freeway for the movie they are making is classic and not to be missed.The recently released Blu Ray version is near excellent and well worth the upgrade if you already have the dvd.

    This is one of my favorite movies, I laugh out loud STILL when I watch it and I have seen if four times. CLASSIC Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin. Probably the most underrated comedy I have seen. Refreshing, new, and a plot that I had NEVER seen before so it made it thoroughly enjoyable. I still turn to this movie if I need a GUARANTEED LAUGH....as in laugh until tears roll down your face. Christine Baransky is absolutely STELLAR in her role as well.
