Very Cool!!!
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

View MoreContinuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to The Nutty Professor 2: The KlumpsPlot In A Paragraph: Buddy Love returns just as everything is going great for Sherman Klump.I didn't enjoy this at all. I loved the dinner table scene in the first movie, but a little goes a long way. It's too much here. The alleged humour is awfully unfunny. Ruder and cruder does not make it funnier. Considering how much I liked the first one, this, this is a huge disappointment.Nutty Professor 2 grossed $123 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 16th highest grossing movie of the year.
View MoreTerrible excuse for a movie. The first Nutty proffesser had some amusing moments like Fat Murphy getting insulted at a club by stand up comedian Dave Chappell with insulting wisecracks and then getting him back later as thin Murphy with some even funnier wisecracks, and the scenes with Murphy and Ms. Purty. Ms. Purty wasn't even in this movie, and there was hardly even any mention of her. Instead, we got Janet Jackson, who proved to us she just needs to stick to singing. Janet Jackson's a great singer, but acting is a different thing. But the Klumps themselves, oh no. They were sort of funny in the first movie, but even then, the excessive use of fart jokes and colon jokes is just not for me. I sort of liked the joke in the first film about the huge, excessive amounts of food on the dinner table at the Klumps' house. But this movie had absolutely no funny moments with the Klumps at all. It was All constant fart and granny sex jokes from them, excessive yelling, and No funny jokes. They were also used five times as much in this film than in the first film. Less is more. A little of them go a long way. In the first film, there were other funny parts with just Murphy, and I liked the scenes with the dean in the first film who detested fat Murphy and kept giving him a hard time. But in this film, the dean has the most horrible, embarrassingly dreadful scene with a large hamster. And the noise the dean made while the huge hamster had his way with the dean was one of the most terrible, disturbing, embarrassing, horrible HORRIBLE experiences I ever had watching any film. Ever!
View MoreThe Nutty Professor remake allowed Eddie Murphy to target the family audience market and was a big box office success as well.With a revitalised Murphy going family friendly, a sequel was a given and this time the fat suit is in overdrive as Murphy plays eight roles.This time Sherman is convinced that Buddy is inside him and trying to take over his personality, at the same time he has found a formula to make people young and found love with a fellow professor (Janet Jackson). His efforts to extract Buddy from his DNA results in Buddy coming to life and going after the fountain of youth formula. There is a side effect that the extraction has made Sherman go stupid.There is a mixture of physical and lowbrow comedy with some sexual innuendos. This is Murphy's film though as he plays the various members of the Klumps both male and female as well as Buddy Love.Only Larry Miller can keep up with Murphy with the comedy as the slimy college Dean who gets attacked by a giant hamster.However the film is uneven, some of it feels like long sketches and some of the scenes seemed to be rehashed from the first film such as the dinner table scene.
View MoreI must say this was a funny night at the movies, and for a sequel, this almost matched the original, but there was a lot of fun moments here, but this had more meat to it, than the predecessor. What I also appreciated was another fun family moment, around the dining table, here it's at a sizzler type place. It cracked me up, even in it's starting where we see silhouettes of the Klumps, about to do damage at this popular eatery, the fat's boy's mouth a human garbage disposal, and dispenser for soft serve. Grandma Klump was totally hysterical in the stripping scene. We spend more time around The Klumps, this time around, Father Klump's line to his son, "Family's important" was a line I never forget. We have the addition of Janet Jackson, who's turns in not a half bad performance, and is credited with a finale song, I liked. Sherman's getting ready for the big day, as to marry Janet, but his alter ego, that annoying Buddy Love has returned. Sherman letting his thoughts pour out to his shrink, is a face from the past, whose been stereo typed in these roles. Buddy has corrupted a potion of Sherman's that decreases intelligence, where Sherman's is quickly dropping IQ which really made matters interesting story wise. I'd almost go with 2 over 1, as like I said there's so much more here to offer. But don't forget such classically side splitting sections from the 1'st like Buddy's Love retaliation against, that stinker of a comic played brilliantly by Chappelle.
