Critics Consensus: A witty commentary on modern film-making, with enough jokes to keep it entertaining throughout.

Reviews

Akron Beacon Journal

Chuck Klosterman

Bowfinger is a terrifically witty movie that skewers all the right targets. It's self-referential and geared toward movie buffs, but it's not so insular that you need an in-depth knowledge of the industry to get the jokes.

Steve Martin's tribute to shoestring filmmaking and big-screen dreams is a loving lampoon that gamely straddles the chasm between cynical con-artistry and benign innocence.

Martin makes a perfect delusional meglomaniac and Murphy's double act still plays really well.

Herald Sun (Australia)

Leigh Paatsch

The minor characters are also great - most notably, Heather Graham..., Christine Baranski as a deluded stage veteran, and Eddie Murphy again in a second, surprise role that caps off the mayhem with just the right dash of stupidity.

Directed by Frank Oz and written by Steve Martin...
