Bowfinger

How do you film an action movie if the star of it doesn't know he's in it? That's the main premise of Bowfinger directed by Frank Oz and starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy. Steve Martin plays Bobby Bowfinger, a producer who, when turned down by the movie star of the day (Eddie Murphy), decides to shoot a film around him without him knowing. The result is a quirky movie similar to the The Truman Show. This movie is one that is made for watching on a slow weekend or when your sick. I wouldn't go out directly to find this movie but if you happen across it on tv, it's worth a glace.
