The Nutty Professor

Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett Smith, James Coburn

For Professor Sherman Klump, being the big man on campus wasn't all it's cracked up to be. His body was disproportionate. His family was dysfunctional. And his love life was disastrous. Having tried e...( read more  read more... )verything--diets, exercise and weight loss experts--in an unsuccessful attempt to shed some of his 400 pounds, Sherman Klump invents a revolutionary fat gene formula. Testing it on himself, he discovers he's no longer the man he used to be; in fact, he's only half the man he used to be. With one swig, the gentle, painfully shy academic is transformed into the swaggering Casanova, Buddy Love--an irresistible ladies' man who can talk his way out of any predicament. This new personality gives Sherman the confidence to pursue the chemistry department's beautiful new professor, Carla Purty. Indeed everything, to Sherman's utter amazement, is beyond his most perfect dreams--until he discovers that his long-lasting creation is actually an unstable substance that can wear off at any time.

    This really is Eddie Murphy doing what Eddie Murphy does best. A funny family film with a great underlying message that children really seem to pick up. Never really fancied the follow up dvd 'The Klumps' but I had forgotten how funny this film was.

    The Nutty Professor is about a Professor named Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy) who has always felt bad about his weight. One night he experiments on hisself by turning hisself thinner. Sherman is now called Buddy who has never felt so good in his life. Sherman tries to keep it a sec...( read more)ret by not letting anyone know that Buddy is him. Things get bad for Sherman when somehow he can't control hisself as Buddy tries to take over him. Now Sherman must make a choice either to go on life as a big man or live as Buddy.

    The Nutty Professor is one of my all-time fav comedies. Eddie Murphy just makes hisself a believible fat guy. I liked how Eddie played like 5 or 6 different people in this film where it must've been hard for him but experience at the same time. Eddie Murphy just rocks at being a comedian even though I thought his side playing Buddy was a jerk but still awesome. Jada Pinkett Smith who played Mrs. Perdy was gorgeous as ever with her kindness & how she respected Murphy for who he was. I thought that was very touching. Hard to find people like that in the world who love you for who you are. Overall, The Nutty Professor is still one fo the best comedies ever & a emotional at that. Eddie will always be one of the best Kings of Comedy.
