Bowfinger
Halfsheet French movie poster for the
1999 satirical comedy Bowfinger (titled Bowfinger, Roi d'Hollywood in France). Directed by Frank Oz and written by its star, Steve Martin, the film is a critique of the Hollywood movie industry.
Plot Summary
The story follows Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin), a down-on-his-luck filmmaker on the verge of bankruptcy who is determined to make a sci-fi blockbuster called "Chubby Rain". When he fails to recruit Hollywood’s biggest action star, Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), he decides to film the movie secretly around Ramsey without his knowledge or consent. He also hires Kit's nerdy, sweet look-alike brother, Jiff (also played by Eddie Murphy), to fill in for scenes.
