Eddie Murphy's remake of The Nutty Professor used the good professor's alter ego, Buddy Love, in much the same way that Jerry Lewis did in his brilliant original: a representation of the Id out of control that plays like an admission of the actor's off-screen sins. In the sequel, Murphy expands on his Klump family from the first film and makes them major characters. Consequently, his dark side has plenty more places to express itself, particularly through the oversexed grandmother, Sherman's aggressively impotent father, and his just plain surly uncle, as well as Buddy Love (all played by Murphy).
The movie opens with professor Sherman Klump barely holding onto his sanity as his internal Buddy Love makes him say inappropriate things. He decides to extract his mutant Buddy Love gene (a sort of genetic version of electroshock therapy), but afterward is unable to maintain his original personality and intelligence. Sherman is the most bland character of the bunch, and the audience gets stuck with his boring romance with fellow professor Janet Jackson, his struggle to be nice, and generic intrigue surrounding a Fountain of Youth formula he developed. When it's not trying too hard to be nice--heck, one character is anally raped by a giant hamster--the movie works. The moral of the story is that Sherman needs to reconnect with his inner Buddy Love. That goes for Murphy, too. --Andy Spletzer, Amazon.com
Product Description
Eddie Murphy returns as Professor Sherman Klump (not to mention Ernie Klump, Granny Klump, and Mama and Papa Klump) in this sequel to the popular 1996 comedy. Having decided to get married, the portly professor asks for the hand of fellow scientist Denise Gaines (Janet Jackson) and is overjoyed when she accepts. But when Klump's fast-talking alter-ego Buddy Love comes back on the scene, the ensuing havoc threatens to ruin all the professor's plans.

This wonderful film featuring the hilarious-loving comedian Eddie Murphy playing the whole Klump family, and nice-looking, great-sounding Janet Jackson as Sherman Klump's new girlfriend. After working on a DNA extraction plan, the theoretical advancement of science that would remove unwanted genes in a person's body, in Sherman's body to get his arch-nemesis, skinny vision of himself, Buddy Love out of his body once and for all. He tries a procedure and slowly finds out it reverses his memory, and he has only a couple days to find Buddy and get him back in his system. It's a race against the clock, and who will win, Sherman or Buddy? Hey, couch potato, get up, drive to the video store and rent it, watch it and then jog back.

this movie is really hilarious, especially if you feel like having your comedy laid on with a trowel and extra non p.c
everything is covered here from fart gags, old saggy tiddies, to giant hamster sodomy!
if murphy isn't good enough (the variety of characters he plays is outstanding), the granny will blow you(!) away.. some of her one liners are just awesome. stand out scenes being the haircutters/back-pain reminisce, and the stripper man scene. 'soul. traiinnn!!'
janet jackson is also superb and seems genuinely gobsmacked at what is going on around her.
the dvd features are far from outstanding, and the sound is questionable and seems to have been mastered really badly. but if laughs are your priority then buy this movie to cheer yourself up loads.

I saw the Nutty proffesor ages ago and foud it to be realy funny but not the best movie in movie making history, it was sort of passable.
This movie, however is hilarious, you find out more about the evil granny and the whole family and it is so cool. The movie has some great acting in it from Eddie Murphy and, more surprisingly, Janet Jackson.
If you liked the Nutty professor 1 then get this movie but obviously if you didnt like the first one you will not like this one! This movie is funny and silly and not to be taken seriously! If you want a movie to make you laugh after a bad day then this is definatly the movie for you! A great movie from one of the funnies guys around definatly well worth a look 5 stars!

this film sees Janet and Eddie come back with the sequal to eddie's massive hit Nutty Pro a couple of years back, this film is not a disappointment recruiting Denise Gaines as the talented Miss JAnet Jackson, a very up-beat film with a 100% top quality acting from janet as she hasn't been on the silver screen since Poetic Justice in '93, she proves she is a worthy actress!!! Buy it to complete your collections of Sequal movies

Eddie Murphy is superb as the Klump Family in this highly entertaining sequel. This is better than the first film and Janet Jackson plays her part perfectly. Excellent jokes and an extremely funny family!!!

This is the best film I have seen in a long time with superb performances from both Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson. The interaction between the characters in the Klump family is believable and realistic. A film you will want to watch again, an uplifting film, a feel-good film.

I am glad that I have this film on DVD now because I have it on VHS and my children do not watch cassette as they are into DVDs.

As much as I admired the talent Eddie Murphy put forth in acting in this movie, sadly it was not worth it. The few funny moments of the film cannot withstand the utter boredom the rest of the movie creates. And I can't even remember what was funny. Maybe I was just laughing out of sleep-induced delirium. Note to the screenwriters: I could have lived my whole life without seeing a man assaulted by a giant hamster and been perfectly happy. Just an example of the futile, desperate humour on display.
