Downey Jr. isn’t in “Bowfinger” that much (you can feel that he was already being placed in movie jail at this point, due to his off-screen behavior), but his sequence with Steve Martin in the restaurant is pure gold. Seriously, watch it again. It’s one of the funniest bits in the movie.
As Martin labors hard to convince Downey Jr.’s executive that Martin has lined up the hottest talent for his new movie, Downey, Jr. at first seems disbelieving and then, ultimately, intrigued. It’s a brilliant bit of comedy, the hilarity coming through Downey, Jr.’s incredible facial expressions; a slideshow of emotions.
