Bowfinger

Saw Bowfinger, a screwball comedy about a bottom-feeding director who tries to con some Hollywood elite into financing his film by claiming he has a big star attached. He then must film his scifi B-film with his protagonist unaware that he's in this film. The whole thing is fairly goofy and low-stakes. The protagonists of the film are all idiots and schemers, none of them particularly sympathetic (apart from some illegal immigrants who are essentially character-less.) I didn't really care if these jerks succeeded in their film. I had faith that, even if they failed, it would be amusing and entertaining. A lo-stakes little goofball movie.
