With their help, Bowfinger embarks on a radical, ingenious scheme to trick the biggest name in movies into becoming the star of his ultra-low budget film. (Universal Pictures)

I rediscovered this in the last couple of years and it's just clicked with me ever since. Martin and Murphy are both on form here, with the latter excellent in his underrated dual role performance. Very much a modern day version of Ed Wood where you end up rooting for these deluded fools who silver dream of seeing their work on the silver screen. Gotcha Suckas!

Some very funny scenes, and a nice story. Some of Murphy's best work.

Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are both very good in this comedy. The script has a lot of good moments but could have been even better in some places. Overall I would recommend this comedy.

(Viewed on 04/03/11): Martin's comedic targets were far too obvious for a man with considerable industry experience, but one can't but help go along with the premise in spite of its complete absurdity.Ultimately, it suffers from a misguided sense of its own cleverness. It's really a toothless farce that gets by on the charm of its central players who are well supported by the likes of Baranski. It was probably the last time Martin and Murphy produced some honest laughs too.
