During one of David's ensuing nightmares, he is visited by Jack and warned that unless he commits suicide, he will turn into a werewolf during the next full moon. David ignores Jack's advice, and, when David is released from the hospital, he moves in with his nurse, Alex Price (Jenny Agutter). They begin a love affair, and now it is only a short time before the next full moon. Will David's nightmares prove to be true? Wry humor interwoven with horror.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Frank Oz  
Cast: Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski, Jamie Kennedy, Barry Newman, Adam Alexi-Malle, Kohl Sudduth, Robert Downey Jr., Terence Stamp

  Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) is an unsuccessful movie producer who, in desperation, bets everything on "Chubby Rain" as the film that will finally make it big time. There is, of course, one major problem: the movie needs Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy) to star in it, but Ramsey is not interested. That does not stop Bowfinger. He uses a hidden camera to photograph the unsuspecting Ramsey talking to the film's actors. Even when Ramsey disappears, Bowfinger remains undaunted and searches for and finds a double to play Ramsey's "role."

And then there's cousin Martha's (Daisy Donovan) straight-laced fiance Simon (Alan Tudyk) who accidentally ingests a hallucinogen brought by Martha's druggie brother Troy (Kris Marshall). Finally, to top it all off a mysterious guest Peter (Peter Dinklage) wants cash to not reveal that he was the deceased's lover. Mayhem ensues, but by story's end, the family comes to terms with each other.

After Orin dies, Seymour realizes the dangers wrought by Audrey II, and he and Audrey try to defeat Audrey II before it takes over the world.

The Duke brothers–Randolph and Mortimer (Ralph Bellamy and Don Ameche) make a bet on whether or not Louis will resort to crime when he loses his position in life. Throw in lots of good comedy, and you have a film worth watching.
