What Parents Need to Know
About Bowfinger
Parents need to know that the movie has a number of sexual references. The character played by Heather Graham has (offscreen) sex with just about every other character (male and female) purely to advance her career. While this is played for humor, without any suggestion that she is being exploited (quite the other way around), parents may want to talk to kids who see this movie about this behavior, as well as the choices Bowfinger himself makes by cheating, stealing, blackmailing, and lying to get his movie made.

Mostly funny, some sexual humor
Having studied film and worked on films I found most of the jokes hilarious. There is a lot of mild sexual humor, so it may not be for everyone.

Great movie! Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy are very funny!
OK!! So this is a very funny movie and the stars are fantastic!!! One of the funniest movies. Leonard Maltin is an old grouch without a sence of humor!!! I watched it with Aunt "The Big Pink Puppy" Kathy! SD (my brob brob) did not watch this until I showed him it! My brother watched Big Momma with the Big Baby Pink Puppy! Eddie murphy's best! Steve Martin is funny,too! Sex is an issue! Commonsense is right by 13+! Bravo globs!
