1.- #Bowfinger is a #comedy on #Hollywood, #loBudget escapism and the #filmmakingindustry. It's somehow reminiscent of #TimBurton´s #IconicClassic #EdWood but stylistically adapted to suit a wider audience and in that sense is superbly written and delivered by @SteveMartinToGo

2.- Add to that If you want or need some lazy motivation before deciding to watch the Starred cast flawlessly led by #SteveMartin, #EddieMurphy, @terence_stamp, @RobertDowneyJr,@imheathergraham,@ChrisBaranski among many other less known names but not less important acts.

3. Direction is on charge of #British comedy #craftman, #Muppet master legend, #JimHenson´s righthander and solid deliverer @TheFrankOzJam with #MustWatch titles like #DeathAtAFuneral, #TheStepfordWives, #TheScore, 1986 #LittleShopofHorrors, #TheDarkCrystal among others gems.

@TheFrankOzJam 4.- #Production was thoroughly conducted by rock solid @BrianGrazer (among others, but as per credits) with the help of late #IndustryLegend #BernieWilliams (#FlashGordon, #StarTrekGenerations, #Daredevil, #TheBattleofBritain ...) and their trade take the weight off the story.

5.- Overall production worked on capturing the gritty, frenzy feel of Hollywood, with real locations and extras adding to the authenticity.The film runs fast, precisely edited, away from style extravaganzas because it rest on clever writing, hilarious performances, and gags

6.- providing a sweet and sour biting satire of Hollywood. The film follows the struggles of a struggling filmmaker Bobby Bowfinger (#SteveMartin), and his motley crew of actors and crew members as they attempt to make a movie with the unintentional help of a neurotic A-lister.

7.- Martin´s sharp writing and witty humor are bolstered by the excellent performances of the cast. Murphy is perfect in his roles, delivering frantically with that style of his not going over the roof, with deadpan delivery, making even the most absurd situations seem plausible.

8.- Supporting cast, including Stamp, Downey, Heather Graham, and Christine Baranski, are equally impressive in their roles, adding to the film's overall comedic tone and creating a world that is both absurd and believable beyond their purposely half- drafted character topics

9.- The style choices regarding character work very well, sometimes bordering the "Panto" and sometimes the improvisation, it comes out as choral comedy, certainly refreshing, whether it is Martin´s, the actors or the film's direction, delivers a hell of a good time.

10.- with a great timing and raccord that keeps the film moving at a brisk and enjoyable pace. The film's various set pieces, including a hilarious scene involving a freeway chase, are handled with sobriety, skill and precision, highlighting the film's overall technical prowess

11.- Beyond its technical achievements, the film's concerns are also worth noting. As a satire with a perk for Lost Paradise remembrance, it also serves as clever depiction on power dynamics in the film industry and the lengths that people will go to in order to achieve success.

12.- Characters treatment is also interesting, most of them serving as a caricature of the different archtypes of people that inhabit the film industry. From the delusional director to the fame-hungry starlet, each character is both funny and relatable in their own way.

13.- In many ways, Bowfinger feels like a film that was ahead of its time, with its themes of deception, manipulation, and the corrupting influence of power feeling just as relevant today as they did when the film was first released. One wonders if such film could be done today

14.- whereas project approval in production and distribution are becoming increasingly dominated by unaccountable payroll partisans hiding behind pearlclutching, invisible mobs, creative prejudice and audience gerrymanderers at almost every step of the decision circles

15.- At its core, Bowfinger is a film about the power of dreams and the lengths that people will go to in order to shape their reality. It is a film that celebrates the art of filmmaking while also poking fun at the industry's most absurd and self-appointedly relevant aspects.

16.- Overall, Bowfinger is a cleverly crafted satire well worth watching. With its theme, writing, performances and characters, the film succeeds delivering entertaining and lighthearted critique, and will leave you laughing and thinking critically about the nature of Hollywood
