Rating: Summary: A very "fun" movie Review: I have read all reviews carefully and want to voice my opinion regarding this movie. I am an extremely overweight woman. So be it. I've accepted that and gone on with my life, but this has taken many years of trying to be someone I will never be and finally understanding that it is the person inside that counts. Those who can't see that, well they aren't worth my time. The first time I saw this movie and before we got to the end, I was a bit offended by the fat jokes, but more than being offended, I was there with Sherman. I have been the butt of many fat jokes over the years so I felt his pain. I felt the pain of Carla Purty as she sat helplessly with Sherman in that nightclub. That my friends is a sign of a well-acted, well-written movie. Yeah, sometimes we hurt! If you don't listen to all but the last few minutes of this comedy, the message at the end is important. Accept yourself, then others can accept you. Other than that, I found this movie totally delightful, funny and in true Eddie Murphy form. I am simply amazed at how versatile this actor is and he he portray so many different characters yet you find yourself absorbed in them and you start to think that they are real actors (someone other than Murphy). As far as one reviewer's comments regarding the portrayal of black people with no table manners. I'll just say I'm Caucasian and I have family members who act as bad as the Klumps did at dinner. Actually, to me, the first time I saw the movie, the dinner scenes were more offensive to me than the nightclub scene, but the second time around, I went with the flow and laughed so hard at mama, Cletus and grandma (all portrayed by Murphy). I think you need to watch this movie with an open mind. I think it just might have opened some "skinny" eyes to the pain that some of us fat folks go through and makes some of us realize we really have to only to make our own self's happy. Watch it and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: EXTREMELY TALENTED IS EDDIE Review: Eddie Murphy would have to be my favourite actor. He is very talented and shows it in this film!He nearly plays as the whole family and does a dam good job at it.This movie is very funny.His family are pigs and the fart scene goes over board as he takes his new girlfriend (pinkett) to his house for dinner.Also buddy love steals the show Eddie murphy's other character more of a wild and funny character who gets the job done with out trying also captures pinketts eye and she starts falling for buddy!Buddy is exremely funny.The Reggie scene is great and probably the funniest scene.This is another eddie murphy classic, and sits up there as 1 of his best, not the best but 1 of his best. 3 1/2 stars for the mivie and 1/2 star for Eddie murpheys talent as all the roles he played , even a grandma!! RECOMMENDED Also i will just say check out some other Eddie Murphy films as they are all great!
Rating: Summary: The Nutty Professor Review: Reviewed Date:November 2003 Studio:Universal Studios Genre:Comedy Exposure:Color Running Time:96 Minutes Rating:PG-13 Release Year:1996 Directed By:Tom Shadyac Starring: Eddie Murphy and Jada Pinkett-Smith. The movie takes place in a college town where Eddie Murphy plays Sherman Klump a 400 pound Professor that is in love with Professor Carla Purty played by Jada Pinkett- Smith. Carla sees Professor Klump as the beautiful person that he is. The Nutty Professor is a very well put together film with Eddie Murphy playing seven different roles. If you want to see a good comedy The Nutty Professor is for you. There are some scene's that really put down overweight people. I have always been overweight and I did not take the scene's offensively but some people may. There are some parts of the movie some people could find inappropriate. You may want to watch the movie before letting your children enjoy the comedy. I give The Nutty Professor 5 stars for any adult. It is just really a funny movie any adult could find humor in. But on the other hand I give the movie a 3 ½ for children, a child being anyone under the age of 18, because of the inappropriate actions in the movie.
Rating: Summary: You're No Better Than he Is! Review: Nutty Professor is one of the most funniest comedies of the mid 1990's and Eddie Murphy played about 7 characters throughout the movie and he even played the aerobics guy for which he unfortunately got sued for, it starts off as Sherman Klump (Murphy) who weighs about 400 lbs and desparately wants to lose weight and he discovers this formula for him to lose weight in a heartbeat but the formula doesn't last very long, and when Sherman goes out on a date with a college grad student Carla (Jada Pinkett-Smith), he takes her out to the comedy house called 'The Scream' and the comic makes fun of Sherman when he bends over, he feels sad and hurt, then Sherman Klump turns into a 150 lb man named Buddy Love, Buddy is an fast talking man who has a strong appeal with the ladies and he's obnoxious! Then Buddy askes Carla out on a date to the Scream, Carla decides to and she ended up having to wait for him for almost an hour! Then Buddy gets revenge on the comic and the crowd is his.

Rating: Summary: The Nutty Eddie Murphy Review: Me and my family love this movie. It is about a 400 pound fat man named Sherman Klump(Eddie Murphy) that is fond over this science teacher named Carla Purty(Jada Pinkett). Since Sherman is a genius scientists he made up a formula to change him into a skinny stuck-up man named Buddy Love(Eddie Murphy). This movie went by really smoothly and had a lot of good laughs. At the end of the movie Sherman teaches everybody a lesson after Buddy Love ruined his relationship with everybody. I want talk more about the movie I would just say rent or buy it! Trust me it is funny! Eddie Murphy plays 7+ roles in this movie which makes the movie funnier.

Review: this movie demonstrates how exceptionaly talented Eddie Murphy is as a comedian!!he impersonates 6 characters!!!!I dont buy any comedy movies but this one is an exception!!this movie not only has laughs but has some drama blended in!!go buy it highly recommended!!!
Rating: Summary: Great Movie! Review: This is a great movie, including Buddy Love, he is so funny, but Reggie Warrington, what an idiot, i'm glad Buddy beat the crap out of Reggie, but the Klump family is funny too, including that they keep farting. I give it 5 stars. WARNING: May contain farting.
Rating: Summary: The Nutty Professor remake is a classic! Review: I was pleasantly surprised at how genuinely funny the entire movie was. There was so much to like, that the movie was magical. Eddie Murphy has proven himself a talent of immense proportion. I laughed hysterically as Professor Klump was dumped on by the comedian in the night club, until Eddie's brilliant performance as a deeply hurt and embarrassed Sherman made me feel ashamed and almost bought tears to my eyes! Most of the family scenes were ad-libbed and were utterly hysterical. You have to watch that scene at least 3 or 5 times to catch all of the rapid fire comic moments that come off here! Some people missed Sherman faking the cutting of his wrists. Miss Purty's reactions to all of this was classic in itself. Sherman's dance to Teddy P and his serenade of his diet dinner was heart warming. This movie is a definate classic and gets funnier with every reviewing. I've seen it about 12 to 13 times, I still laugh out loud and clap at the end.
