Critic Reviews of "Bowfinger (1999)"
TIME MagazineFebruary 02, 2009The best thing about Bowfinger is the way the script by Steve Martin is tooled to his own and Murphy's comic strengths.
Chicago ReaderFebruary 27, 2008This is enjoyable but thin, which is no doubt what was intended.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Preposterous and utterly self-absorbed, this has la-la land down to a tee.
San Francisco ChronicleJune 18, 2002Martin the writer plants some wicked barbs in Hollywood's rear end about creative financing of movies and hoarding of profits, the art of the deal, hipper-than-thou attitudes and exploitation.
Globe and MailMarch 19, 2002This is his first screenplay since L.A. Story, yet you get the sense that Martin has lost some of the artistic aspiration he once brought to the movie business. This effort feels like it's just business.
New York TimesJanuary 01, 2000Hilarious, good-hearted.
Seanax.comApril 15, 2016Bowfinger (1999), Steve Martin's tribute to shoestring filmmaking and big-screen dreams, is a loving lampoon that gamely straddles the chasm between cynical con-artistry and benign innocence.
Common Sense MediaDecember 22, 2010Entertaining, great actors but not a home run.
Film4February 27, 2008Hugely funny film that mixes knowing satire with winning stupidity, and has Martin and Murphy in form they have rarely managed in recent years.
Big Picture Big SoundJuly 14, 2007Mr. Murphy chews the scenery every chance he gets and it recalls what made him such a star in the first place.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteFebruary 04, 2007Murphy is wonderful ... The plot is mechanical, clunky and boring.
