I'm actually giving this movie 3 and a half stars, but unfortunately there are no half stars in the rating. I recently saw this movie at home on cable, and i very much enjoyed it. It's not a GREAT film, but it certainly is entertainment pleasure. Just think- two of Hollywood's most iconic comedians: Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin, in a mixed up comedy about the movie business. This film takes place on Steve Martin's character who is a director, filming a movie starring Kurt Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) as the lead star. He casts other minor actors who all are playing a part in the film to be famous, and also to meet Kurt Ramsey. Unfortunately, Steve Martin's production is not famous and therefore, Kurt Ramsey does not agree to be a part of the movie. That's when Steve Martin decides to tell all the other actors in the movie that Kurt Ramsey said he WILL do the project, however he doesn't want to be seen in front of the other actors and that he will be by himself a lot. The other actors believe this nonsense and go on shooting the movie. Steve Martin and his movie crew find out where the real Kurt Ramsey lives and gets shots of the back of his head, and him randomly out and about. It's a very hilarious movie and actually quite intelligent. I liked it alot- and just to top that comedic mix of actors, you also get a small role from Robert Downey Jr. as well. Twas a fun movie.
