From doing supporting roles as sidekicks in several hit comedy films and teleseryes, Eugene was given the chance to play the lead in the movie Kimmy Dora: Kambal sa Kiyeme. Not only did she had the spotlight all to herself, the seasoned theater actress played dual roles in the film produced by Piolo Pascual. Eugene delivered a hilarious performance as the simple-minded Dora and her mean twin sister Kimmy who fight over the affections of leading man Dingdong Dantes. Eugene achieved unprecedented success with Kimmy Dora and the comedienne admitted she feels overwhelming gratitude to all the people who have recognized her talent. She also considered Kimmy Dora as a feat that should inspire people from all walks of life. " Siguro mensahe ito sa lahat ng Pilipino na huwag kayo mawalan ng pag-asa. Kung nangyari sa akin baka mangyari din sa inyo. Hindi naman kailangan ang leading lady laging saksakan ng ganda. Pwede naman 'yung parang maganda kapag naayusan, so okay na 'yun."
