Bowfinger (1999)
Storyline
On the verge of bankruptcy and desperate for his big break, aspiring filmmaker Bobby Bowfinger concocts a crazy plan to make his ultimate dream movie. Rallying a ragtag team that includes a starry-eyed ingenue, a has-been diva and a film studio gofer, he sets out to shoot a blockbuster featuring the biggest star in Hollywood, Kit Ramsey -- only without letting Ramsey know he's in the picture.

Reviews

Smoothly directed and acted with glee... showing quick-witted comic spirit.

A terrifically clever film; has a soft-boilded heart.

Rolling Stone
Inspired funny business that allows Martin to hilariously torpedo Hollywood's corrupt heart.

San Francisco Examiner
Priceless enough to flush "Metro," "Dr. Dolittle" and "Holy Man" from memory.

Variety
So lunatic that it creates as much puzzled disbelief as it does carefree delight.
