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)

Wonderful, farcical comedy starts at a fever pitch and incredibly keeps on building and building, largely thanks to Martin's clever screenplay and a career-best effort for Murphy, who is equally hilarious (and even touching) sending up his own movie star persona, as well as portraying his own dopey lookalike. Perfectly cast right down the line, (Graham and Stamp are also standouts) and handled with aplomb by Oz. Largely limited interactions between Martin and Murphy is perhaps the only odd note.

Highly entertaining and indeed clever premise for a film that is mostly well executed. A lot of fun, even if it does push the boundaries of the ridiculous a little too far on some occasions.

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 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.
