(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.

Wastes its memorable premise on an unmemorable script, creating a nearly joyless and vaguely depressing experience. Filled with non-gags, aimless attempts at satire, and a weird lack of understanding of its own industry, Bowfinger is a thoroughly tedious and unfunny 97 minutes. [Full Review]
