The Nutty Professor
1996 - 96 min. - Color
Genre: Comedy
Rated PG-13
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Sweet-natured, university scientist Sherman Klump is understandably insecure about his immense weight, particularly after meeting pretty grad student Carla Purty. He is conducting experiments in the hopes of inventing a formula that will instantly make one thin. After a disastrous date with Carla (in which a vitriolic stand-up comic makes Sherman his target), the desperate researcher swallows the formula before it's been perfected.
   The solution not only makes Sherman thin, it transforms him into a smug, obnoxious cad named Buddy Love. Buddy also begins dating Carla (and gets sweet revenge on that comic), but drinks more and more of the solution in an effort to erase Sherman Klump forever.
   However, the formula has a major side effect: Buddy continually transforms back into the corpulent Sherman, without warning -- and at the most inopportune times...

LaserDisc Movie Review:
Eddie Murphy gives one of Jerry Lewis' best-remembered vehicles a 1990s overhaul in this hit comedy. Sherman Klump (Murphy) is a college professor and respected biochemistry researcher who is kind, considerate, and a genuinely nice guy. Sherman is also appallingly overweight; coupled with the fact that he's painfully shy and a bit clumsy, his romantic prospects are rather bleak. When Sherman finds himself working with a pretty graduate student, Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett), he falls in love and is eager to impress her, but at an upscale nightclub, his weight attracts the attention of an insult comic (Dave Chappelle) and his bumbling spoils the evening. Sherman's latest project is a genetic weight loss formula, and despondent over his failure to win Carla's heart, he subjects himself to a massive dose. Suddenly, Sherman 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. In addition to playing Sherman and Buddy, Eddie Murphy also plays four other members of the porcine Klump family, as well as eccentric exercise guru Lance Perkins. --- Mark Deming

Jerry Lewis was among the executive producers of this genuinely funny remake of his 1963 comedy. As grotesquely overweight Professor Sherman Klump, Eddie Murphy is at the top of his form, in a role which revived his career after an eight-year string of disappointments. Whether playing the pathetic Klump or his thin, nasty alter-ego Buddy Love, Murphy pulls off a tour-de-force in one of the highlights of his career. Rick Baker's makeup effects are remarkable, seamlessly transforming Murphy into a string of distinct characters, most notably Klump's entire family at the hilarious dinner scene which is the film's biggest laugh-getter. On the downside, the film occasionally veers into unnecessarily sugary sweetness or crass vulgarity, dulling its often dark humor in a bid for mass acceptance. Still, director Tom Shadyac (Liar, Liar) has delivered an enjoyable, visually striking comedy which never fails to entertain. --- Robert Firsching
