Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
An amazing cinematic feat of makeup and special effects.
-
Jay Carr, Boston Globe
Nutty Professor II is neither funny nor endearing enough to conceal the fact that, like its star, it fills the screen with a lot of padding.
-
Hap Erstein, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Never manages to feel like a sustained story.
-
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Bodily function humor galore marks Murphy sequel.

Nick Rogers, Suite101.com
Rape that's anal and bestial! Scrotal lint! Noodly penises! One Eddie Murphy character desperately begging to give another one gummy oral sex in a hot tub! Bring the whole family!

Christopher Smith, Bangor Daily News (Maine)
So thick with bad gas, it sours the show.

Sure it had some good laughs, but it was just more of the same ol same.

I found that this sequel to the Nutty Professor was lacking considering that the first film was a lot of fun, funny and entertaining. The film is decent, but is also fairly lazy compared to the first one. They tried too hard at outdoing the first film, and they ended up with another sub-par sequel. This is very often the case with most sequels. Filmmakers try to outdo the first, but they fail to capture key elements that made the first film so special. The Nutty Professor II is a decent enough comedy, but it really doesn't do anything new or exciting with the material. Eddie Murphy is good here, however I feel that he's past his prime, and he should've retired after this film was made. The guy isn't what he used to be. The film funny, but the humor is tiresome at times, and you see that the screenwriters tried too hard at outdoing the first film. This sequel still manages to make you laugh, but with less effective results. I enjoyed the first film a lot more and despite the fact that this is somewhat decent, Nutty Professor II could have been much better. The film has laughs here and there, and for the moist part is decent enough to be entertaining, but as yet another sequel to a smash comedy, this film fails to be as funny as the first film. Nutty Professor II is worth watching, but it's nowhere near the first film, which was very funny, original and brought on big laughs.

Its worth a viewing because its fun to see Murphy playing the Klump family again making more jokes, ultimately the script isnt as good as the original and Murphy does sell out on this one but godamn it. It still made me laugh. Worth a viewing though for sure
-
Weak script, bad direction, bad acting, poor film. At least, The Klumps, sometimes apparently looks a fun picture. Rotten.

i rented it from starz on demands once when i was almost ready to go to bed i fell asleep right after the movie. It wasn't even funny, because i heard okay this movie ive heard is funny ill rent the sequel to see how funny it is, i turned it off right after the movie was over, and just sat there and said, why? It wasn't even funny it was just gross out crude humor that wasn't even funny throughout the whole film

It was an joke that got old very fast. I think everyone went from loving Eddie Murphy's multiple performance family portrayal to hating it because it was just beaten to death. The humor got even more cheap, resorting to scenes devoted to farting. This really marked the downfall… More

Uh Oh! Better stop now, unless they know they know what they are doing!

It's Eddie Murphy's brilliant character acting vs. Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. Unfortunately Mr. Murphy hasn't been good at the whole character thing since Coming to America (Via Bowfinger), and fat suits and fart gags rule here. Needless to say, I didn't like it.… More
It's Eddie Murphy's brilliant character acting vs. Eddie Murphy in a fat suit. Unfortunately Mr. Murphy hasn't been good at the whole character thing since Coming to America (Via Bowfinger), and fat suits and fart gags rule here. Needless to say, I didn't like it. The story is also just plain odd. It's become far removed from the Original Jerry Lewis film. Maybe it could have been good if given to Frank Henenlotter in 1983 with a small budget but that would just be stupid and impossible. Avoid! *Also note to future filmmakers, Janet Jackson a good love interest does not make ? EVER! *shudders at the thought*

a bit beneath the first, which was classic. watchable but not memorable.

"Nutty Professor II - The Klumps" is a hilarious sequel to the first movie in the series that starred Eddie Murphy. This movie isn't anything like the first one though. In "Nutty Professor II - The Klumps," you better believe the title because that's what you're getting in this sequel is more of the Klumps, you'll get to know each one of the Klumps that you saw at the dinner table in the first movie a lot better and in more detail this time around. Professor Klump has invented a new formula that will make whoever or whatever drinks it, a lot younger. But this new invention won't go through without any competition because (yep you guessed it), Buddy Love is back in this sequel to try and meddle around with Professor Klump's genius ideas.
"Nutty Professor II - The Klumps" is just as funny as the first movie, and maybe even a little bit funnier. To say the least, Eddie Murphy did a great job portraying every member of the Klump family. Janet Jackson also does a good job in her role. The only downfall to "Nutty Professor II" is that it isn't as groundbreaking or as original as the first movie, but it is just as entertaining and just as hilarious. It also has good special effects. If you liked "The Nutty Professor" or if you like hilarious comedy movies, I definitely recommend getting "Nutty Professor II - The Klumps." NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2001. Not bad, just nowhere near the original. It's bad when a naked baby is just as funny as any other part in the movie.

i like how the one kid in the family that eddie murphy didnt play went on to much worse crap like the American Pie 4,5, and 6
-
Just as much fun as the original, but, I like this more because of the character development that was missing from the first film.

"Like my man, Stone Phillips..."

The words "insult" and "injury" spring to mind.
