Bowfinger







Bowfinger is about a guy named, well Bowfinger, who wants to make a big time movie. At the begging [beginning] of this movie the only 2 [write out numbers less than two] associates he had to make this dream become a reality were giving up on him. After that he had found out that he had to take matters into his own hands and gather actors, producers, and a camera crew. The topic of the movie he was working on was an alien movie known as Chubby Rain.

During this movie Eddie Murphy or "Kit Ramsey" was a big time actor who was starring in this movie that he had no idea existed. He was asked to review the script at first but because of his attitude against producers it had caused him to shoot [literally with a gun] the script and throw it out of the window [he reacted this way once he discovered Bowfinger was trying to play him by claiming to be a member of MindHead (a satirical re-imagining of Scientology)]. So Bowfinger had just improvised and told his crew that Kit had not wanted to have any communication with anybody on the set because he is in full character at all times [method acting]. Kit had just assumed that all of the alien nonsense around him was real and that maybe he or the people in the city were starting to go crazy.

One thing I liked about this movie is how Eddie Murphy had a double role as Kit and the stunt double in the movie. That's one thing I've seen in a few Eddie Murphy movies and that has become one of his signature acting methods. Overall, this movie had contained a great percentage of suspense, comedy , and drama [would you say this film successfully crossed genres? Why or why not?]
