BOWFINGER MOVIE REACTION | 0:00 - 30:01
BOWFINGER MOVIE REVIEW | 30:02 - 32:41
Bowfinger Movie Description:
On the verge of bankruptcy and desperate for his big break, aspiring filmmaker Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) concocts a crazy plan to make his ultimate dream movie. Rallying a ragtag team that includes a starry-eyed ingenue (Heather Graham), a has-been diva (Christine Baranski) and a film studio gofer (Jamie Kennedy), he sets out to shoot a blockbuster featuring the biggest star in Hollywood, Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) -- only without letting Ramsey know he's in the picture.
Bowfinger is a 1999 American comedy satirical film directed by Frank Oz. It depicts a down-and-out filmmaker in Hollywood attempting to make a film on a small budget with a star who does not know that he is in the film. It was written by Steve Martin, who also stars alongside Eddie Murphy in two roles, and Heather Graham as an ambitious would-be starlet. The film was released on August 13, 1999, to largely positive reviews, and grossed $98 million.

I always say that Eddie Murphy deserved two Supporting Actor nominations for this. He played two completely different characters and played them so well. My favorite movie is his.

Life isn't a comedy
I love Eddie's facial expressions when he's crossing the freeway, one of the funniest scenes in cinema.
Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin are genius in this. Absolutely.
Probably THE most underrated movie lol
Eddie Murphy has given a lot of award-worthy performances but this is the one where I think he really got robbed. Kit and Jiff are some of his funniest performances and they couldn't be more opposite of each other. Not only that, but he gives them depth, and you actually feel for them even with his ridiculous things get it.
When I first saw this I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair. That never happen to me before or since.

He also directed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, What About Bob, and The Score, all great movies.
yesss! thank you for reacting to this. hardly anybody ever reacts to this hidden gem and it's so hilarious! I remember the first time we rented this one from Blockbuster (yes it was that long ago lol) and my whole family and I were laughing so hard that we had literal tears in our eyes. so glad you enjoyed this one. I'd like to suggest My Cousin Vinny as another classic comedy that you'll enjoy. it stars Joe Pesci, Marisa Tomei, and Ralph Macchio.
"As I stand here before you today, the laker girls cheerleading squad needs to be taken down a peg or two" oh man, that line always made me chuckle.😂
Love this movie, it's kinda of homage to all the 'Ed Woods' of the movie world.
So glad to see someone finally react to this movie. It's so overlooked and underrated.
"I like The Smashing Pumpkins." "Really? I love smashin' pumpkins..."
I love this movie so much. Too many favorite parts to count, although I do love, "We're finished! We are over!" "How come?" "You had sex with Jiff." "So?" "I never thought of it that way." 🤣 I also love the guys they picked up at the border who became film and cinematography experts while working on Chubby Rain. And of course Betsy the dog. Steve Martin always has funny dog scenes in his movies.
Best Eddie Murphy performance. There, I said it…
So yes, Steve Martin wrote this movie. I imagine he and Eddie has some great moments together figuring this stuff out. I saw this at the movies and I absolutely couldn't stop crying during the highway run scene. It was the funniest thing I had ever seen. Eddie's reactions... "Heavenly God....Heavenly God!!!"

The highway run is one of the funniest scenes in movie history. It's a bit frustrating when reaction videos leave out some of the best parts of the scene (like when Steve Martin reassures him that all the cars are driven by stunt drivers. "Oh, so that's how you do it." (or something like that).
I saw this one opening day in the theatre and the whole theatre was laughing.
Criminally underrated. CRIMINALLY.
Other Frank Oz films you might enjoy: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Little Shop of Horrors.

“Awesome!!”👍😂😂😂 Kills me every time!
Steve Martin has been my hero since I was a kid in the 70s. I love how he can make anything funny, and I only loved him more when he started doing dramatic roles. Some of his sillier films to watch are "Dead Men Don't Rear Plaid", "All of Me" and "The Man With Two Brains". I could go on and on, but needles to say, he's awesome!
Bringin down the house with steve martin and queen latifa was also funny as hell. Steve martin is great, even in that loony toons movie
Ever since this movie in my teens , heavy instant rain , i still call it chubby rain lol

Another movie everyone reacts to. I hope he does more underrated films like Bowfinger, "midnight run", "tin men" so many.
This is my moms favorite movie and so few people have seen it. In the highway scene they lied to Eddie Murphy and told him the cars would stop for him when he ran across but it was a real highway so they didn’t stop. His panic and tears when he got across were not acting.
I haven't seen this one in far too long! I remember it came and went without anyone noticing back in the day, it's nice to see that people have caught up with it. :) Apparently Frank Oz gave Eddie Murphy a lot of room to improvise and Steve Martin was smart enough to be okay with it. A lot of the best stuff came out of Eddie's or Steve's brain on the spot. Everything about how Jiff looks and acts is all Murphy. Seems to me I read somewhere that Murphy's part was originally written for Keanu Reeves but either he didn't want to do it or the studio didn't think he was big enough - this came out the same summer that "The Matrix" did but I can't imagine anyone would rather see Keanu than Eddie Murphy in this. Years ago I read an interview with Steve Martin and he said he had a very different and much darker ending in mind when he originally wrote this. The story was going to be more bitter in tone and would climax with Martin's character throwing a big party at a mansion in Beverly Hills for all the big stars in town, who would be played by themselves in loads of cameos. But Bowfinger was gonna be so bitter and twisted (he might have had inoperable cancer as well, or something - can't remember for sure) that his cunning plan was to blow up the house with all of Hollywood in it, killing everyone. The end credits would be the next year's Oscar ceremony and there are like twelve people there. LMAO!!! I'm glad he was talked around to where the movie ends now, but the thought of his original ending always makes me laugh.
One of the best comedies ever made.
This is one of my favorite comedies of all time....love your reactions 😃
One of Steve Martin's most hilarious and underrated movies
Eddie’s two roles here are among my favorite Eddie Murphy roles.
Oh man. I highly recommend The Producers
One of the plethora of joys in this gem is the character arc of the Mexican tech crew, from needing to be pointed at the action to discussing, in English, the best ways to light, shoot and edit later scenes.
Definitely one of my favorite movies, love everything about it. Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy made my childhood amazing 🧡👑
God bless Eddie Murphy. The man of a thousand characters. Eddie and Steve really make this film pop. I haven't seen this film in over twenty years. What a classic... Many thanks for the blast from the past, MellVerse.
Bowfinger! An underrated comedy to be sure! Comes off much better now than when it was released, it is a spoof of Hollywood, not unlike Ed Wood. Great cast too! MindHead is a spoof of Scientology.

I love this movie. I can't believe my mom hates it
Finally someone reacts to this! 2 other underrated and underwatched films are "Midnight Run" and "Tin Men" Both great
Bro this movie is HILARIOUS xD Thank you for making me watch it
Wow. You may be the first and only person on KZread to do a reaction to this movie. Congrats! You really seemed to appreciate the spirit of the film.
awesome reaction man! i love this movie. one of eddie's most underrated comedies
Totally love this movie!
Ay! They mentioned the Tom Cruise vampire movie…it’s a sign bro gotta watch it 😆
Eddie has done so many classics
One of the greatest comedies of all time.
By the amount of times I watch them, Bowfinger and Black Dynamite are my two favorite comedies. Frank Oz really is one of the most underrated directors; my top favorites being Death at a Funeral and Little Shop of Horrors.
I'm so glad you are reacting to so many gems from my childhood. Others go with trends!
YES!! You continue appeasing my family with these movies! LOL
Made my day man,So glad for your reaction. ✌
You have to do life with Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence
Eddie was in rare form in this film. I liked but didn't appreciate this film in my younger years it didn't get the issues Eddie's character had mentally so that part of it made so much more sense to me. Jiff was ridiculous
I think Eddie Murphy is SO underrated in this film.
Great reactions. Bowfinger is an underrated movie.
Saw this twice in the theater twice back in 99. Such an underrated Classic. Steve Martin writes great scripts… Roxanne and Shopgirl are excellent ones too
One of the best comedy movies of all time.
Awesome pick Mell! 💯💯💯
New sub... So glad you did this one! Great reaction!
For this movie to really hit you have to watch it at least a second time. If you do that you'll probably watch it a few more times. Then you'll keep watching it because it's hilarious. I just noticed the computer went off every time Kit said "gonads". Lol!🎉
This is probably where Eddie got the idea of Norbit.....🙈😄
I want to recommend the movie “ RAT RACE” from 2001, that movie makes me laugh no matter how many times I watch it

I've rented and streamed this movie over a hundred times. Loved it every time I watch.
I love your emotions whenevr you react to a movie. please never stop. im glad soemone other than me loves this movie
The Producers was kind of a similar story, make sure its the Gene Wilder one though.
Great reaction, I've never seen this movie ... mistakes were made going to have to give ths a proper watch now
I dont know how to say this, but when the spartan yell happens, the look on your face is like you are really enjoying yourself lol
Been looking forward to this!!
My brother took me to see this in the Cinema. I didn't know anything about it and didn't want to but he made me go. I think I was only 10 and it was a seminal cinema moment. Great reaction. See ya in the next one!

I had a similar experience with another Eddie film; the Klumps. I begged my parents not to make me go but my old man insisted. I ended up laughing my head off to it. Great times
Eddie Murphy is a genius! No doubt about it!
A hidden gem.
This movie is a classic!! I see you're a fellow ennio morricone fan, good taste sir 👍
I've never understood why this is still underrated/overlooked/little known. your reaction made it even more enjoyable.
Eddie Murphy is a legend his acting is way beyond what people think it is
This was so funny, I laughed crying. 🇬🇧 😂
How could anyone hold it together with Eddie playing jiff I can't even.
I don't know if you would be interested in a great tv series but this movie reminds me of Barry on HBO. Its a meta comedy about Hollywood. Great reaction as always!
Haven’t seen this in 10+ years 😂😂 Man I forgot how funny it was🔥🔥
If I remember right, Bowfinger was supposedly inspired by the secret filming of Mark Pickford in a Russian film in the 1920's. I could be wrong though.
this film nay be a comedy but 99% on point on shit that goes down in Hollywood and being in the entertainment industry this film is gold
This comedy is a masterpiece. 😁
Now you should watch Steve's classic, L.A. Story. It has a similar style to it as "Bowfinger", just without the movie premise. The observations on crazy Los Angeles trend of the time are great.
Absolutely love this movie! While its not Steve Martins best movie, it my favorite movie by him. Eddie Murphy was perfect in this role. Wish Martin and Murphy did more together in their younger days.
The parking scene 👌
YES, FINALLY SOMEBODY DOES A REACTION TO THIS. I LOVE YOU!!!

I had Bowfinger and Blue Streak, another underrated film.
Some movies I suggest: Boondock Saints (1 and 2) Shoot'em Up Rock'n Rolla In addition to being some of my favorites, they should give a good reaction.
This movie is very loosely based on a movie called "A Kiss From Mary Pickford". Like in this film, the director followed Mary Pickford around in 1927.
Always look forward to your latest reaction, and it sounds like you have a great line up in the future. Maybe sometime you can check out Amadeus, such an amazing film.
Eddie running across the busy highway hurt me I laughed so hard
One of my favourites. One of my go-to movies when I feel like crap; a creative slump. Adaptation and Get Shorty also is on that list.

Adaptation is brilliant. Especially when John Malkovich plays John Malkovich playing John Malkovich in Being John Malkovich.
The whole thing is a spoof. It's supposed to all be totally absurd and Eddie Murphy is a comedic genius.
Man.... I love this movie.. so underated
Love your reactions man! I gotta recommend the movie Hamlet 2. A totally ridiculous movie, but I really think you would dig it.
The only movie with a similar premise that I can think of off the top of my head is John Waters's 'Cecil B Demented' where they basically kidnap Melanie Griffith and force her to make a movie.
