Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Martin is also at the top of his form!
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
This is his first screenplay since L.A. Story, yet you get the sense that Martin has lost some of the artistic aspiration he once brought to the movie business. This effort feels like it's just business.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
19 Mar 2002
fresh:
Martin the writer plants some wicked barbs in Hollywood's rear end about creative financing of movies and hoarding of profits, the art of the deal, hipper-than-thou attitudes and exploitation.
– Bob Graham,
San Francisco Chronicle,
18 Jun 2002
fresh:
This is enjoyable but thin, which is no doubt what was intended.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,
Chicago Reader,
27 Feb 2008
fresh:
The best thing about Bowfinger is the way the script by Steve Martin is tooled to his own and Murphy's comic strengths.
– Richard Schickel,
