I'm amazed that this funny movie only gets an average of 6.5 votes. It perfectly combines satire with slapstick. The central premise - that you can make a movie without the star knowing about it - is wonderfully realised by the inspired Steve Martin and his crew of barmy losers. Eddie Murphy naturally steals the show in two different roles. The traffic-dodging scene had me rolling on the floor. My favourite quote (from Heather Graham as the nymphomaniac starlet), "I've never done it lying down before!" How can anybody not like this utterly charming movie, which bears throughout the stamp of Steve Martin's unique view of life? It's a true return to form for two of America's great natural comedians - just when we thought they had stopped being funny forever.
