I saw this when it came out. I was barely in my teens. I went back to see it at least six times before its run ended. Even missing the inside jokes, I thought the small jokes more than carried the story. Glad to know I'm not the only one who saw the genius in this film.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL ABSOLUTE RESOLVE!

This movie is a classic! Never gets old & just so well written. Two phenomenal actors in here that made an average script, a cult classic !

This Characters is probably my favorites of Eddie's roles. This movie should get more love.

Bowfinger is an amazing movie. It's so good

Wow, I was too young to get this one when it came out. I gotta try it again!!

Ah youth, Gomez used to be about that life...

What a great character

Was just referring to this movie a few days ago, it’s great! Time for a rewatch 😂👍

Underated film

Eddie plays this part perfectly!

Being a star uhhh but running errands wow

Oh that's too funny I just watched this movie last night this is such a great movie I've been turning friends on to this for years and I've never had somebody say they didn't like it afterwards

Such an unsung comedy! LOVE Bowfinger!!!

Both Murphy and Martin are insufferable and unfunny.

This is a cult classic

The scene where they make him run across the freeway is hilarious😅

Steve Martin is such an awesome comedian. He and Eddie played so well off each other!

Totally underrated eddie murphy

Eddie is such a stellar character actor.

Just let me show it to the Laker girls.

This movie reminds me of the DVD or even VHS movie that would be in the $5 bin, so you’d be like what the heck $5 is cheaper than a movie ticket. Go home watch it, and realize you hit comedy gold!!! You would immediately put this movie in your comedy rotation.

Such a fantastically, funny and original movie😅 “ I’m really hoping to get a career run errands that would be a major boost for me!”

Such a fantastically, funny and original movie😅

Hilarious movie

Underrated movie

Greendale must have a good acting program

This movie is so underrated.It's not even funny

Great movie with a young Henry cavill

Great movie

It wasn't missed! Don't think your friends are movie buffs if they don't know this film. My favorite movie about making movies!! 🎬

I love this movie so much

How did a Mexican gang banger get into The Count of Monte Cristo?

The oldest cliche in Hollywood is making fun of Hollywood. Hollywood loves laughing at how silly it is, which is why they plant Ricky in front of the Oscar audience and no one gets offended. He's fucking Hollywood as fuck.

L. A. Story is Steve Martin's love letter to Los Angeles and Bowfinger is his love letter to Hollywood. It also came out the same weekend as Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I remember wanting to see it in theaters, but then going to see The Matrix, Sixth Sense, and Star Wars instead ...

A member of the Marines is a marine. A member of the Air Force is an airman. If you're in the Navy, you're a sailor and if you've joined the Coast Guard, a guardsman. Finally, only members of the Army are called soldiers. All told.

I did not miss it. I was an early adopter. I hope your video encourages more people to watch it

One of my all time favorite movies. It is one of the most satisfying payback movies ever made. Great video! Thanks!

The first of Aaron Sorkin’s infamous “walk and talk”.

I find it amazing that anyone missed it. I feel like all my friends know and love it. Maybe it Was it bigger in the UK?

we missed bowfinger because it wasn't marketed. I saw it in theatres by flip of a coin between bowfinger and some other flick. hugely under-rated movie. everyone I have shown it to has liked it.

"my gonads.. MY GO-NADS..." is something I still drop randomly One of the funniest criticisms of Hollywood of all time

Oh, man...I may go on for a bit here... This is one of my favorite movies ever....amazingly quote-able. First saw this when it came out, Christmas Season 1982. The audience laughter drowned out so much of the dialogue..... like a textbook for comedic structure, the laughs get bigger and bigger as it goes, so that Dorothy's climactic monologue on live TV is the high-point in terms of audience reaction. I think I must have missed half the monologue there was so much raucous laughter. Biggest one-liner was Murray's slut line. Random lines: "Zap him in the badoobies" "Are you out of your cotton-picking MIIIND?" "Nurse Charles, are you insane?" "You were a tomato!" Really, the whole movie you can quote. My moment of "Dustin Hoffman is a genius" came when I realized he was actually playing three characters: Himself, Dorothy Michaels, AND Emily Kimberly. You can really tell he worked on making Dorothy and Emily two distinct characters - which goes back to the idea of it being more than just a drag comedy. My god, what a supporting cast! You mentioned his is really Teri Garr's peak - she's so adorable and neurotic and funny, you can't help but love her. George Gaynes takes what could have been a throwaway part and makes it hilarious (and believable). I also love Charles Durning's slow realization who is sitting next to him at the ending bar scene. There's a small little play that eventually made it to Broadway called "Title Of Show", which was basically a re-telling of four friends and how they made it to Broadway, One of the sequences is them in class about acting for the camera, when the director of the class asks a student to turn their head to the left. One of our main characters says, "My left, or your left." In a second the characters realized they had a common bond: Their love of Tootsie. It was a neat little moment.

I didn't miss it. Saw it in theater and bought the DVD. One of my favorite movies. You should do Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing next.

Checkout the new series ! It's also fantastic

16 years on her finger

the late 90s are underrated

Got talked into seeing this in theaters when I was 13 and I remember leaving that theater thinking it was the best movie ever lol

Dude its a fking classic. I still think all movies cost $2184 dollars to make

I actually saw it in the theater when i was (a quite naive) 19 or 20. I guess I'm just going to have to watch it again.
