I have always been a huge fan of Steve Martin so I might be a bit biased when I say this isn´t only great comedy it also has a real story.

Much funnier than I suspected, considering the family-friendly comedy hell both Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin's careers were roasting in at the time. Martin is unusually bouncy and jubilant as a con-man film producer, his enthusiasm likely due in no small part to his behind-the-camera credit as screenwriter, while Murphy once again plays a double role. He's just passable as the action movie superstar at the center of the storyline, but relentlessly funny in a supporting slot as the actor's identical, geeky, socially inept younger brother. There isn't much of an arc to the plot - everything goes off without a hitch from, basically, the word go - but it's not trying to be Macbeth or anything. A simple, unassuming excuse to let two comedy legends play around on the screen, it's perfectly entertaining fluff.
