BOWFINGER (1999)

Set in current Hollywood, Bobby Bowfinger is your typical low-budget actor-producer-director who recently comes across a script he believes is a sure-fire hit. But, when no one wants to buy the script, its up to a famous producer to save Bowfinger's career, albeit under one condition: Hollywood's current "It" girl, Kit Ramsey needs to star in it. When Kit refuses, Bowfinger decides to take on the script himself. Hiring a beautiful actress from Ohio whose diva attitude is a far cry from what Bowfinger prepared himself to deal with. Throw in some complications with producing studios, and a burger-flipping goon, and you have yourself one hilarious adventure en route to a wannabe sci-fi that may star Kit without his actually even being aware of it.

The cast includes: Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Heather Graham, Christine Baranski, Terence Stamp, and Robert Downing Jr.

The very funny script was written by Steve Martin. Directed by Frank Oz.
