5 Movies-Within-Movies We NEED To See (And 5 That Would Suck)
7. We Wish We Could Watch: Chubby Rain From Bowfinger
Bowfinger, a comedy starring Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy, centers on the exploits of Bobby Bowfinger (Martin), a B-movie producer attempting to produce the so-called Chubby Rain on an exceptionally tight budget.
Bowfinger wants Kit Ramsey (Murphy) to star in the film - however, the unstable actor refuses to sign on. Bowfinger thus decides to film the actor covertly, incorporating Ramsey into the movie with neither his knowledge nor his consent.
The fictional film features an alien invasion, and, as the bizarre title implies, the aliens of Chubby Rain come to Earth via raindrops. However, plans go awry when the paranoid and unstable Ramsey starts to believe that extraterrestrial beings are actually stalking him.
Due to the unconventional filming methods employed by Bowfinger, we imagine that this wacky science-fiction film would be a very interesting watch. Those attending Chubby Rain's premiere do appear genuinely impressed by the film, which suggests that Bowfinger's unorthodox methods have somehow created a cinematic success.
