A movie that came out in 1999 called Bowfinger is funny as hell. I saw it last night on one of the premium channels. I was never a big Eddie Murphy fan, didn't watch SNL in the early 80's, but he is so funny. It's actually a Steve Martin film, but it's not his usual type and Eddie also plays his own brother but has braces and talks like a white guy.
Steve plays a shady director trying to make a film in Hollywood with no budget. He selected Eddie Murphy as the star of his film, but Eddie doesn't know it, so everytime he's in public Steve's film crew tries to film Eddie and the other actors just think that Eddie doesn't like to work when he sees the camera.
There's a great supporting cast in the film, along with Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy there is Heather Graham who is hot as usual along with Jamie Kennedy, Christine Baranski and small parts by Terrence Stamp and Robert Downey Jr.
