BOWFINGER
Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy combine their singular comedic talents in this hilarious Hollywood satire. Z-grade movie producer Bobby Bowfinger (Martin) is desperate to break into the big time. Clinging to a derisive promise from studio exec Jerry Renfro (Robert Downey Jr.) to distribute Bowfinger’s movie CHUBBY RAIN if he can get A-list action star Kit Ramsey (Murphy) to star in it, Bowfinger hits upon an ingenious plan: Do not give the high-maintenance star a chance to say no, and just start filming the low-budget sci-fi thriller around Kit gonzo/guerrilla style. The stellar cast includes Terence Stamp, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski and Jamie Kennedy. DIR Frank Oz; SCR Steve Martin; PROD Brian Grazer. U.S., 1999, color, 97 min. RATED PG-13
