Eddie Murphy just continues to prove himself as one of the greatest comic actors of all time in Bowfinger. His versatility and energy are put to brilliant effect in this whacky movie. The sheer terror and paranoia are themselves worth watching as he is approached on the street by people ranting and raving about aliens and plots etc.
The weak point is Steve Martin, who continues to prove himself as one of the most mediocre comic actors of our times. Whether he is the Father of the Bride, enduring Parenthood, or filming as Bowfinger, he gives the same restricted range of emotion, the same strange mix of over- and under- acting, and the same sinking feeling whenever he is on stage.
But there again, he's richer than me... so go figure!
