Bobby
Bowfinger is a small-time Hollywood producer who becomes enamored of
a script a friend of his writes, an schlock alien invasions story
called "Chubby Rain". Thinking this will be the film which takes him
to the top, he shops the script around but can't sell it unless he
gets Kit Ramsey, one of Hollywood's hottest actors, to star in it.
Kit wants nothing to do with it so Bobby decides to make the film
himself, and follow Kit around using actors to make it seem like Kit
is actually in the movie, although he is totally unawares.
BOWFINGER
is a well-conceived and mildly amusing film written by Martin that
delivers on some genuine laughs even if it never takes off to being a
good film. Martin and Murphy deliver a high amount of energy making
the film watchable for the duration. Well directed and fun while it
lasts, but don't expect too much.
