Oops...

Something went wrong.

Try again later.

Massively obese, yet loving and kind-hearted, professor Sherman Klump is painfully shy and a bit clumsy, so his romantic prospects are rather bleak. Klump is on the verge of a breakthrough in DNA restructuring when he meets an admirer of his, named Carla, who is a new teacher. He then decides to test a formula on which he's been working on himself. Suddenly, Klump is transformed into the slim, trim, and handsome Buddy Love; however, the drug also boosts his testosterone level, turning the likable Sherman into the arrogant, skirt-chasing Buddy.

CRITICS OF "The Nutty Professor"

TV Guide

Murphy turns the dual roles of a meek academician and his smarmy alter ego, Buddy Love, into an excoriating exercise in self-disclosure.

June 06, 2009

Resource

Variety

Murphy's most assured work in some time.

March 26, 2009

Resource

Cinema Sight

It spends too much time trying to find laughter and not enough time speaking out against fat shaming and our weight-obsessed culture.

January 01, 2016

Resource

Rolling Stone

Eddie Murphy is funny again. Sadly, he lacks the guts to follow through on the cathartic self-satire that gives the film its distinction.

May 12, 2001

Common Sense Media

A dumb, offensive movie--a good one to skip.

January 02, 2011

Blu-ray.com

There's bold work here from Murphy on grand scale of thespian commitment, yet the feature's sense of humor is more dreary than playful, killing the potential of the premise with a constant display of bad taste.

Film4

All in all, a pretty thin comedy.

June 06, 2009

Resource

Globe and Mail

The flick is sketch comedy spun out to feature length.

April 12, 2002

Resource

TIME Magazine

[Murphy] is able to invest his Professor Klump with an endearing dignity, give his lounge lizard alter ego, Buddy Love, an alligator's bite and then go on from there to play Klump's grandma. Also his mother, father and brother.

June 06, 2009

Resource

Washington Post

This is good, seamless comedy.

August 20, 2002

San Francisco Chronicle

This is a chance to see Murphy doing what he does best, and for that alone it's worth seeing.
