A Real Showcase For Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy at the dinner table playing every character but the kid is one of the funniest scenes I remember from any 1990s comedy. But don't play this DVD to your young kids.

His humor is very crude and nasty in the film - sometimes too much so, especially for another of these questionable PG-13 ratings - to give this a "5" but it does have a ton of laughs, courtesy of Murphy. Eddie is remarkable as all these characters. I believe he plays seven in all. This is probably his biggest 'showcase' ever on film, demonstrating his comedic talents.

Even though this has a childlike-romance-type feel to it, and a nice message about bias against fat people, it's certainly not "family fare." This is a LONG way away from the original Jerry Lewis movie.

Still....for adults, this movie provides a ton of laughs.

The Nutty Professor

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 everything--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. This is a must see. If if you have not seen it than you should. Eddie Murphy is so funny in this movie. If you like it then you should see the Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

5 stars for Murphy, 4 for the movie

Right off the bat - Eddie Murphy deserved an Oscar for his performance in this movie. Robbing him for this extraordinary performance that I dare say no other actor in Hollywood today could've pulled off with such ease and brilliance is one of the Academy's biggest oversights. While he did win the National Society of Film Critics award, Murphy wasn't even nominated for the Oscar. Granted, the history of head-scratching moves by the Academy could fill pages; neglecting Murphy's work in this movie seems like one of the best examples of how comedy is largely ignored by the Academy.
As for the movie, The Nutty Professor is crudely funny and highly enjoyable. Murphy is the only reason to watch the movie since he is on screen nearly the entire time in one character or another, and he never disappoints in any of the roles he plays. The plot is largely superfluous because the real treat of the movie is watching Murphy vamp and carry-on as only this comedic superstar can. This movie is Eddie Murphy on steroids and that makes for one hugely entertaining romp. If you wish to see one of the most impressive performances in cinema, catch The Nutty Professor and simply marvel at Murphy. Eddie hasn't always chosen the best parts but this tour-de-force is simply stunning.

Nutty Proffessor VHS Video.

I love this movie, it's absolutely funny and has a good morale to the story, on why people should accept people the way they are especially in an age where everybody is crazy about thin models.
