Ryan M @trm.valnas Jan 19 It seemed over the top at the time, but now a classic. I don't think Steve and Eddie's usual audience was ready for something this ambitious and it might of came off as pretentious judging by the box office. I really feel like Eddie elevated himself in this one. The gimmick of him playing two characters in a movie wasn't novel, but in this case it really worked. They were two convincingly good performances and he carried and ensemble over a lot of ground. Harkening back to Sellers in this one rather than all the hamfisted kid comedies with fart jokes.

About a Steve Martin type in the movie business dealing with a post peak Eddie Murphy type, doubled. Still junk tho.

Terence Stamp, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham, Steve Martin, and Robert Downy Jr. (in cameos) are among the cast members. In the film, Steve Martin plays a mediocre filmmaker who is captivated by an extraterrestrial invasion plot. To finance his film, he has saved almost two thousand dollars. He hopes to work with Eddie Murphy, a well-known Hollywood actor who will not be aware that he is being filmed, while having fleeting and incidental interactions with Martin's quirky crew, which includes illegal Mexican migrants and a gorgeous aspiring actress who sleeps with anyone she thinks is involved in the filming. The movie seemed to be fast-paced and joyous, but it lacked the humorous bits that Steve Martin is known for. I have no clue why the movie has garnered so many favorable reviews, other than the fact that the film's plot revolves on filmmaking and other film industry-related narratives that generally please cinema critics. I'd want to be educated on the opposite to my assumptions about the film. Eddie Murphy was unfunny, despite portraying two roles as twin brothers. Perhaps the part was not intended for a comedic performer, since Martin had the character developed for Keanu Reeves. It's watchable, but not so much that you'd regret not seeing it.
