Premise
When a desperate movie producer (Steve Martin) fails to get a major star for his bargain basement film, he decides to shoot the film secretly around him (Eddie Murphy).
Loved
The performances.
Thoughts
The details may be fuzzy, but I loved this very funny film. Not only did it have an interesting premise, but it had some gut-busting comedic performances from Martin, Heather Graham, and especially Eddie Murphy. There some hilarious scenes and dialogue, and the cast knocked all of them out of the park. While Murphy did the usual gimmick of playing multiple characters, this time it was justified, and he was equally droll as the paranoid movie star, and his uber-shy twin.
Maybe I liked it too much because it was about movie-making, but I cannot wait to re-watch this in the future.
What I would change
No idea.
