Bowfinger – 8/10
I’m sorry, guilty pleasure or not, this movie is pretty hilarious. Steve Martin actually does a fantastic job at being funny in this movie… I say “actually” because this movie rides dangerously close to his loser days… you know, the days he’s in now… Bowfinger came out in 1999, which was kind of late in the game for SM’s “funny” days.
But… then there’s Eddie Murphy… who freaking steals the show here. Um, so hilarious. The scene with him running out into traffic KILLS me. And I find myself saying “keep it together, keep it togther” rather frequently. A more appropriate way to write that would be “keepittogether, keepittogether”.
So, yeah, this DVD is on my shelf. It’s a lovely time and easy to watch, and SM & EM are great together. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I love it when someone plays more than one character in a movie. Fantastic.
