Anecdotes
Eddie Murphy ad-libbed the line "You're doing great! You're going to be a star." in the scene where Daisy is topless.

Gaffes
When reviewing a script with his agent at the beginning of the movie, Kit says that the letter K appears 1,456 times in the script, which is perfectly divisible by 3, meaning that KKK appears 486 times. 1,456 is not exactly divisible by 3. 1,458, however, is, and gives the stated division result of 486. This could be an intentional error to jokingly suggest that Kit has poor math skills.

Citations
Kit: White boys always get the Oscar. It's a known fact. Did I ever get a nomination? No! You know why? Cause I hadn't played any of them slave roles, and get my ass whipped. That's how you get the nomination. A black dude who plays a slave that gets his ass whipped gets the nomination, a white guy who plays an idiot gets the Oscar. That's what I need, I need to play a retarded slave, then I'll get the Oscar.

Crédits fous
After the last credits roll, Kit's line, "I saved the world! I saved it," can be heard.

Versions alternatives
The "Deleted Scenes" on the Blu-ray/DVD releases contain:
A much longer version of the "this script, this masterpiece" scene, in which a Martin monologue explains why an accountant would write a sci-fi script. His first script, about the exciting world of accounting, was rejected in favor of something that at least has aliens in it. The title is "Star Wars", but that will have to be changed.
Another scene features the most advent-grade dry-cleaning place you'll ever see, explaining better the "Kit's dry cleaning" material later on.

Better than most people think

Steve Martin leads a pack of film-making hacks and amateurs in a project that involves filming a major star without his knowledge or consent.

Now that the plot is out of the way, the review. It's hard to give this title a 9 or a 10. It's not perfect. There are a few slow passages, but those are few and a placed in such a way that they do not lead to a major train wreck. While the humor is not terribly cerebral, there is so much heart in the story, and the enthusiasm and love for film shines through. By the end, we understand the joy that comes with the film-making process. It's one thing to make a brilliant film, and to be recognized as a wonderful director, but lacking that talent, the joy is not decreased by making an average or poor film by overcoming obstacles and producing a piece of work. The biggest weakness in this film is not in the premise or the acting at all - it's in a few touches of the script that make it a little closer to being predictable. Regardless, if you can get in touch with the love of film presented, a good time is there to be had. If you want your comedies without heart (a la American Pie) then you'll be bored.
