The Nutty Professor II: The Klumps [Blu-ray]

Director: Peter Segal, Brian Grazer

Overview

Overweight scientific genius Sherman Klump and his extended family are back in this sequel to the 1996 comedy smash The Nutty Professor. Sherman (played once again by Eddie Murphy) has come up with a discovery that ought to make him a multimillionaire: a youth serum that turns back the user's body clock. Sherman has also found time for a social life and has fallen in love with Denise Gains (Janet Jackson), a brilliant woman involved in DNA research. Sherman and Denise are engaged, but Sherman is still troubled by Buddy Love, the dark side of his personality that he wants to purge from his psyche forever. He persuades Denise to help him by splicing Buddy out of his DNA structure, but the experiment doesn't go as planned: instead of destroying Buddy, Sherman and Denise free him, and Buddy's first order of business is to get his hands on Sherman's youth serum, which Sherman has hidden at his family's house. In addition to Klump and Love, Murphy also plays Mama, Papa, Grandma, and nephew Ernie Klump, thanks to the makeup magic of Rick Baker.

Editorial Reviews

From the family barbeque sketch on his second album, Comedian, to the rollicking barbershop quartet of Coming to America, Eddie Murphy has always tested the boundaries of character creation. Now, in the second installment of the Nutty Professor, The Klumps, Murphy is finally given free rein, returning as Sherman Klump, as well as Sherman's supercool alter-ego Buddy Love, and the entire Klump family. Sherman discovers a Fountain-of-Youth serum, his bosses seek to exploit it, and Buddy Love wants to steal and sell it. All the while, Sherman courts Denise Gaines (Janet Jackson), and fends off his cacophonous family. But the story is secondary to the textured antics of Murphy breathing life into every one of his Klumps -- especially Sherman's parents. With Murphy -- as with the late Sir Alec Guinness in Kind Hearts and Coronets -- you constantly forget you are watching the same actor in multiple roles.
