Bowfinger

Bowfinger

1999

Lame producer Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin) has a script that's brimming with possibilities, and dreams of making his first big hit. The catch? To get seed money to produce the film, it must feature Hollywood's leading box-office star, Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy). Of course, Kit would never be in such a disaster, so Bobby and his cast of misfits -- including Kit's brother (Murphy in a dual role) -- trick Kit into unknowingly starring in the film.
