Summary: Nutty 2 better than the original? I think so!
Review: Nutty Professor 2 was one of the funniest movies this summer. It was definitely better and had a better story than the other fat suiyt comedy this year, Big Mamma's House. This one is better because we get more of Eddie at what he does best and we get Janet Jackson, who lights up the screen with her presence. Granny Klump is the best. She makes you laugh every time you see her. Great movie! Funny movie! Excellent Characters! Get it now!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nutty...but it has its moments
Review: i was dreading seeing this movie, but in the event it wasn't so bad. I thought both Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson were very talented (Jackson's a LOT better than Madonna and just 'cos she was the pretty girl in the movie I don't see why everyone has to be catty about her) and the last scene was quite moving, but I thought sometimes it just went too far, i.e with the hamster, which was kinda stupid. But I don't think I'd bother seeing this movie again - at times it all got too dumb.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: TERRIBLE, NOTHING LIKE 1
Review: I was expecting a repeat of the first one. Nope. Bad jokes, boring plot and Buddy Love is just annoying. Im afraid this one hit an all time low. The only funny jokes come with Dean Richmond and Granny chasing down Buddy, thinking hes the stripper man. Otherwise a low blow.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Buddy Love's Great Plan
Review: Marshall Shaffer's Review of The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps: Eddie Murphy plays Professor Sherman Klump and discovers a fountain of youth serum. Buddy Love (Eddie Murphy) tries to get the serum and tricks Sherman Klump, and Buddy Love gets it. Sherman loses his job over it, Prof. Denise Gaines falls in love with Sherman, and Denise helps him get it back. They get married in the end. This movie is hilarious!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Interesting Concept, Horrible Movie
Review: I can no longer remember the days when Eddie Murphy has made a funny movie. He is now involved in movies that will appeal to everyone and pad his wallet more than his reputation as a comedian. This film is no exception. The first film made a good anount of money, so someone had the bright idea to make a sequal. That was mistake number one. The second mistake was to take a scene that was funny from the original film, and make it into a feature length film. The scene with his entire family, which was Eddie on a huge ego trip, was taken out, and now has a very poorly written film surrounding it. Janet Jackson may have been a high point, that being that she could actually act a little, but the rest of the movie was displaying what can happen when a star gets too much power, and such a large ego, that it is impossible for the film studio to say no to him.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Klump and Family Not One For the Ages!
Review: Eddie Murphy proves once again (not that we need any more convincing) that he deserves to someday be included on Hollywood's "All Time Greatest" list. Jim Carey he's not, but he doesn't need to be! Recent comparisons between Carey's character in "Liar Liar" and Sherman Klump serve absolutely no purpose. All things considered, Klump is pretty boring. What a delight if Murphy ever decides to surround himself with better writers (with a deeper vision) who can provide him enough substance to showcase his talents in a more positive light. No doubt, most of the creative juices for this shoddy material could have originated from any low class joint that doesn't bother to remove its restroom graffiti. How shameful if this gifted genius is never involved in a classic film that stands the test of time. It becomes increasingly unlikely that future generations will appreciate Murphy if his work becomes outdated within a few months of being released. Theater audiences howled when some sap sucker was subjected to anal rape by a giant hamster! They howled again when an old Negro ate a piece of meat courtesy of the Heimleck maneuver. If this is your thing . . . Please don't allow me to be the one pushing you to take that vital next step toward reaching your potential as a human being. The oversexed grandmother bit was a novel idea, and apparently based on the actor's real life flesh and blood. Teaming up with a terribly impotent but sympathetic male figure was funny, but this type of gag only goes so far! Janet Jackson was released from her "nasty girl" image to play a character analogous to "Darla" comforting Spanky, Buckwheat, and Alfalfa . . . But those fellows had the advantage of rubbing elbows with true professionals in the critical areas of writing, directing, and film production. In Nutty Professor II, we do get to know the Klump family much better, but it doesn't really mean anything.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: loved it, janet was great as usual
Review: I'm sure you all have seen some of my reviews on the wonderful Ms.Janet Jackson so I'm certain you'll know what I'm about to say about Nutty Professor 2. IT WAS FUNNY AS ....! I loved every minute of it, Janet......Well she was da bomb as usual. Eddie had me in stitches thruout the movie, I thought it was better than the first one, although in this movie I didn't think he really need Buddy Love. It was still good nevertheless. Remember, If Janet is in it, I'll watch it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nutty, Nutty, Nutty, My Love For You!
Review: The sequel to the Nutty Professor, The Klumps, Was exceptionally funny. It has been sometime since I have actually seen a film and it has made me laugh. True, good comedy films are hard to come across these days but unlike many others, this one comes [darn] close to the others. Eddie's performance(s) in this movie are not only outrageous, but brilliant. I've never seen an actor nor actress who can interface with themselves as coherently as Eddie has. The plot of the movie was good as well and the climax, with the giant hampster was a very good and creative concept. Although many may not agree with the following statement, Janet's role in the movie was excellent as well. She gave the movie character, unlike Jada Pinkett (whose role was very bland to me) Janet turned it. It was as if it was only natural for her to play the role of Denise in the movie. I don't think that any other actor nor actress could have made a better combination to create such a movie..

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A very Unfunny movie.
Review: Full of recycled jokes and gags that are more patheic then funny. This movie shows how much Eddie Murphy's talent has declined over the years, He once was funny, but now he is trying to recapture past talent that he will never have again.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Nutty II The Klumps
Review: I Thought The Movie Was Pretty Good, Granny An Cletus Cut UpAlot An The Scene At The Buffet Was Very Funny, You've Got To Give Credit To Eddie For Playing All Those Rolls, He Getting Older Every Day! I Payed [$] To See This Movie But Would Recommend To Wait Till Its Released On DVD Or Video. Happy Movie Going.
