Bowfinger (1999)

Description

Comedy greats Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy star together for the first time in “Bowfinger.” How does Bobby Bowfinger (Martin), Hollywood’s least successful director, get Kit Ramsey (Murphy), Hollywood’s biggest star, in his ultra low-budget film? With an ingenious scheme and the half of Kit’s eager and nerdy brother Jiff (Murphy), an ambitious and sexy wannabe (Heather Graham) and an over-the-hill diva (Christine Baranski), Bowfinger sets out to trick Kit into the performance of a lifetime. Written by Steve Martin and directed by Frank Oz, critics call “Bowfinger” a “wildly funny comedy!” (Roger Ebert, “Siskel and Ebert”)
