The critic consesnsus is: A witty commentary on modern film-making, with enough jokes to keep it entertaining throughout.. What reviews supported this critic consensus?
1. A junk food comedy, packed with instant gratification laughs that fade away almost immediately after the credits roll.
2. Some truly great comic scenes!
3. A satire with enough wisdom to recognize there's still something delightful about being a film-maker.
4. It's a funny, funny satire that skewers Hollywood.
5. Too many problems detract from Bowfinger to make it be considered a 'great' comedy, but it is a good one.
6. Rare is the enjoyment in finding a seemingly no-brainer comedy that reveals itself to not only have a brain, but a sharp one at that.
7. Steve Martin is one of the most versatile actors in the business; he is also one of the funniest comics, one of the few capable of making the viewer believe any situation, no matter how farfetched.
8. Your sides will hurt when the film fades out. It is a comedy event not to be missed.
9. Martin may express himself more gracefully than Bobby Bowfinger does, but the two share a certain quality of vagueness or absence that has plagued Martin's entire career as an actor and writer.
10. Martin and Murphy were never funnier ...
