A solid comedy!

MPAA Rating: PG-13.

Runtime: 97 minutes.

Tagline:

Loser. Faker.

Plot:

When a desperate movie producer/director (Steve Martin) is unable to get a major star (Eddie Murphy) for his movie, he starts secretly shooting the movie around him...

Plus:

Memorable characters and filled with laughs. Also, there is enough twist in the plot (movie is about aliens while Eddie Murphy is really scared of aliens!).

Minus:

The one premise joke starts getting a little old and boring towards the end.

Overall:

A solid comedy that doesn't lose its charm even after multiple viewings. I saw this long time back and don't mind seeing it again too. Thumbs up!
