Forty-nine-year-old Bobby Bowfinger is the president of a Hollywood-based production company, Bowfinger International Pictures. The company has yet to produce a film, Bobby's personal net worth is virtually zero and the company only has $2,184 to its name. Bobby believes his fortunes will change when his accountant, Afrim, changes hats and writes a science-fiction alien invasion screenplay that Bobby thinks all studios will clamor for. He has a small stable of followers who support his vision in being part of this movie. (Showtime)

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.
