Summary: The Klumpinator is Here
Review: Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) is a professor who is nutty. Ha! He has come up with a potion that reduces body weight and mass. Well, good! Klump has tried exercising, but used a Snickers bar as a weight. Deep depression set in after he met the woman of his dreams (Jada Pinkett-Smith) at the university. You should have seen the amount of M&M's he poured into his mouth. It was diabolical. I recall the scene where he ate dinner with his family at home and they were just disrespectful. The family must have forced out many ba-deeps and laughed about it. I thought I was getting sick. After that things just got worse for the professor. He went on a date with the woman of his dreams at a comedy club and the comedian made fun of him. "It's a full moon tonight!" Got to love that Dave Chappelle. Then Professor Klump drank his potion and became Buddy Love. An outgoing, noisy scumbag who was a completely different person from the loving Sherman. Jekyll and Hyde! Terrible! Another sequence showed Sherman Klump growing bigger and he had stomach trouble. You need to avoid the gas that spreads and blows everybody away like a tornado and then some fool ignites a match! Foolery! This movie isn't for everybody. If I want to see people with stomach-aches, I'll go to a buffet.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This is the most hilarious movie I have ever seen. I was doubled over with laughter. How does Cletus make all those farts? Granny seems to have her mind on nothing but sex these days. How does Eddie Murphy manage all of those roles. Like Meet the Parents, it will be a wonderful play ...Long live Eddie Murphy

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Thank you very much I'm fatter...I mean flattered"
Review: As great as "Coming to America" was, this movie may have the best special effects of any movie I have ever seen in terms of people, not objects. Murphy shows his amazing talent as he portrays six different characters. I believe this is Murphy's first film as where he plays the character of a genius. Several scenes are funny, but my favorite ones include the night at the club when Buddy Love is on stage and outperforms the comedian and also at the dinner table where the family is present. While watching this, I easily develop an appetite from looking at the food. Personally, I think all the jokes (especially at the club and dinner table) are very funny as well as the movie's message. If one takes offense to this movie, that is their problem amd I'm sure the directors could care less as well. Overall, I would have to say this is the best "Murphy" movie of the 1990's.

Summary: More awards for Murphy!!
Review:

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR
Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett, 1996

Synopsis
An overwieght chemistry professor (Murphy) falls in love with a young beautiful grad student (Pinkett). In deperate attempt to win her heart he drinks a magic weight loss potion he has formulated. The side effects however cause serious problems.

My Review
This is a remake of a 1963 Jerry Lewis film. Murphy plays seven roles in this film and the makeup and acting is great. Pinkett is a babe! Lotsa laughs, a really fun comedy.



Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's ok
Review: its ok but it's not completly good it has some hilairious parts but the proffesers family definetly has horrible manners. if you are trying to teach your child respect this isnt the movie to watch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Way better than the Jerry Lewis one!
Review: The Jerry Lewis one was just plain dumb! But this is a masterpiece! This one strayed away from the stupid geeky college professor and turned him into a fat college professor who just wants to be thin. When my mom saw this with me, she coulden't stop laughing, and I'm sure that anyone who sees this movie won't stop either!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: FUNNY FUNNY FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Eddie Murphy playing 7 or 8 characters is so great and funny. This movie is hilarious! I think Granny's stories about Mike Douglas and relations are funny as hell. Lance Perkins' workout is also extremly funny. But dont see the sequel. Its totally unfunny, nothing like this.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Eddie Murphy doing what he does best
Review: This is one of the best comedies I've seen. My favourite part is when he or rather she says "Hercules, Hercules ,Hercules.....

Terrific stuff

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: hilarious
Review: This movie is a great example of slapstick comedy: its extremely funny without being plain stupid. Dave Chappelle in my mind steals the movie with his 5-minute scenes as a stand-up comedian.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Expected More from Eddie Murphy
Review: If you enjoy clich'-jokes, perhaps you will enjoy this film more. I was hoping for more of the characterization from Saturday-Night -Live type skits where Murphy disguised himself, immersed himself, completely into a new person. This was flat, fine for a summer movie with no expections. The special effects helped the rating up to 2. GREAT MURPHY FILMS are "Coming To America", "BEVERLY HILLS COP series", "BOOMERANG", "48-HOURS", and "The Distinguished Gentleman."
