Bowfinger
Steve Martin (who also wrote this) plays a down-and-out producer whose new ultra-low budget sci-fi epic "Chubby Rain" stars action super-hero Eddie Murphy. The problem is that Murphy doesn't realise he's in the film as he is being filmed secretly and that his geeky brother (also played by Murphy) has been recruited to be his stand in.
