Sean Axmaker

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.

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...

Entertaining, great actors but not a home run.
