BowFinger
BowFinger is a movie that sets out to give the audience a good laugh and to also dispel the rumors about the Hollywood life styles. Steve Martin does this by showing us how a movie gets produced and how difficult and time consuming it can be. He also shows us how ridiculous and out of control it can get. This movies job was to entertain us and even though it started off slow and I barely laughed at the beginning when things started to move I was having a good time. BowFinger is a good movie that is very original with comedy with great characters and an excellent plot.
The main character Bobby Bow finger played by Steve Martin is extremely eager to direct a film and gain recognition as a talented film producer. He’s a fast talking, very sneaky and determined person who wants to accomplish his dream of being recognized in Hollywood. At the beginning of the film he takes advantage of his friends and co-workers so that he can make his movie but as things go on he shows how much he cares about them and how important they are to him. Steve Martin is an excellent actor when I was watching this movie I didn’t see Steve Martin playing as someone and that takes a lot of talent to be able to perform like that. Also, he directed the actual movie BowFinger while playing in it and he does a great job doing both. Eddie Murphy is one of the supporting characters that play Kit Ramsey and Jefferson "Jiff" Ramsey. Eddie Murphy did a great job in this movie because every time he was on screen I laughed. He was over the top with both characters whether he was the famous super star with a big ego Kit or the timid mumbling nerd Jeff. Without Eddie Murphy this movie could have been boring but Eddie Murphy helped to invigorate the audience with his acting. The story had a good plot Bobby BowFinger wants to direct a film of his own but to do so he needs to convince Kit Ramsey to star in it. Things don’t go out as plan so he comes up with an idea to film Kit Ramsey without his permission. While this is going on a side Story about Kit Ramsey is shown where he is part of a cult Mind Head which is a ploy on scientology and how he is fooled by them. Bobby BowFinger plan seems to be working until Kit has to be taken to the Mind Head home base and they can’t find him to finish the movie. They look for actors that resemble Kit Ramsey and they find Jiff Ramsey played again by Eddie Murphy. BowFinger is almost finished with his movie but he needs to shoot the …show more content…
It was an old fact that actresses would sleep with directors o get a part of the movie but in BowFinger it taken to an outrageous level where she sleeps with a lesbian by the end of the movie. The illegal immigrants were also interesting seeing how they first introduced and by the end of the movie they already understand the inner working of Hollywood. Finally there’s Terry Stricter the president of Mind Head he was the antagonist of the film that represented the corporate greed and the ridiculous schemes they used to rob people and take advantage of
