The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

An actress who arrives in town soon decides the best way to get to the top is to sleep with everyone. Although most of these encounters aren't seen (with only one having contact and some related sounds, but no nudity or movement), they're referenced many times and related sexual dialogue occurs, stemming from them.

Violence & Gore

Although we don't see who's firing, we hear gunshots as Bowfinger and his crew pick up some illegal aliens on the border to be their crew (we do hear bullets hitting their van).

Profanity

At least 1 "f" word, 10 "s" words, 6 asses, 5 damns, and 1 hell.

With the aforementioned actress at the door, we see Bowfinger pour a bottle of cheap wine into an empty expensive bottle and then water it down. Later, the actress mentions that this is the type of wine that one can drink as much as they want and not get drunk.

Younger kids may find a scene where Bowfinger and the others convince Jiff to cross both sides of a very busy freeway on foot as somewhat comically suspenseful, what with all the speeding cars passing within inches of him.
