Bowfinger

Director Frank Oz in person at the 11/9 screening!

Dir. Frank Oz. 1999, 97 mins. 35mm. With Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski, Terence Stamp. In this raucous comedy penned by Martin himself, he plays Bobby Bowfinger (Martin), a hapless Hollywood hack who’s devised a cockamamie scheme to get the biggest actor in the world, Kit Ramsey (Murphy), to star in his next film. Enter Kit’s uber-nerd brother Jiff (also Murphy), an aspiring screen vixen (Graham), and declining diva (Baranski), all pawns in Bowfinger’s plot to trick Kit into an unwitting performance for the ages. The fourth collaboration between director Oz and actor Martin was a critical and box office hit, marking the first (and to date only) onscreen pairing of legendary comedians Martin and Murphy.
