The day of the Oscars seemed like a good time to review this movie, as Steve Martin is my favorite Academy Awards host--though I'm really looking forward to Conan hosting. If you are someone who also tends to enjoy Steve Martin's unique sense of humor, I highly recommend this comedy, which he wrote. Martin stars as Bobby Bowfinger, an aspiring filmmaker who has assembled a ragtag group of dreamers and schemers with the hopes of making a movie with a major star and finally receiving a FedEx-delivered envelope. It is ridiculous and funny, and I think it is one of the only times when the same actor (in this case Eddie Murphy) playing multiple roles actually works.

Happy to be in the minority on this one.

It's silly and funny and full of the kind of bad acting that you'd expect in a do-it-yourself amateur film. Lots of fun.

In short, a batch of wannabe screen stars put together a movie, enlisting one of Hollywood's biggest stars, without his knowledge. The running gag is that the star is stealth-filmed again and again, with his "co-stars" stalking him mercilessly.

I liked it a lot, but it's nothing that I want to see over and over. Turn your deepest thought processes off, see it once, laugh, then put it back up for swap.
