Bowfinger
Comedy97 min
Near bankruptcy and still chasing a hit, Steve Martin is Bobby Bowfinger, a bottom-rung Hollywood producer who decides to make his dream movie by secretly filming around the biggest star in Hollywood. Eddie Murphy's Kit Ramsey has no idea he's been cast, while Heather Graham joins Bowfinger's patched-together crew as an ambitious aspiring actress. What follows turns studio lots, street corners, and every low-budget workaround into part of the production, with Bowfinger trying to fake a blockbuster one stolen shot at a time.
