Desert Island DVDs - Comedy, Continued


#2 Bowfinger (1999). Directed by Frank Oz. This tale of desperate filmmaking on a shoestring budget, showcases an over-the-top performance by Eddie Murphy in a dual role as a paranoid movie star, who thinks he is being chased by aliens, and his brother, whose greatest dream is to run errands from Starbucks. Steve Martin, who also penned the screenplay, stars as the producer who will go to any lengths to get his movie made, even if that means never informing the star of the movie that he is being filmed. Replete with a dead-on parody of Scientology.
