How does Bobby Bowfinger (Steve Martin), Hollywood's least successful director, get Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy), Hollywood's biggest star, in his ultra low budget film? Any way he can. With an ingenious scheme and the help of Kit's eager and nerdy brother Jiff, an ambitious and sexy wannabe (Heather Graham) and an over-the-hill diva (Christine Baranski), Bowfinger sets out to trick Kit Ramsey into the performance of a lifetime. (Shock Entertainment)

The overall idea still appeals to me even after years, and it's nice that it's possible to create something like this, something functional, to shoot a film with an actor without him knowing he's the main character. But I think it was possible to squeeze more out of this than just a dual role for Eddie Murphy, who in the second role essentially just goofs off for the camera. It had more potential.
