The Nutty Professor

Eddie Murphy stars as a grossly overweight chemistry professor in this update of the classic 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy. Eager to reinvent himself and to ease his loneliness, the professor develops a potion that magically transforms him into a lean, mean, sex machine, capable of seducing any woman in sight, but he loses his niceness along the way. Academy Award Nominations: Best Makeup.

Cast:

"...Murphy's portrayal of Sherman Klump is surprisingly warm and touching..." -- Philip Kemp , (Sight and Sound)

"...A remake that improves upon the original....[A] career-reviving smash [for Murphy]....A sweet spirit..." -- Rating: A- -- Bruce Fretts , (Entertainment Weekly)

"...A surprisingly funny comedy and respectable remake..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today)

"...Apt and comic....Combining the riotously funny and the sweetly sentimental....Miller is at his obsequious best....[Pinkett] demonstrates that her range ranks her among the most versatile young performers in movies..." -- Leonard Klady , (Variety)

"...[Murphy's] back with exuberance and energy....He's very good. And the movie succeeds in two different ways: It's sweet and good-hearted, and then again it's raucous slapstick and bathroom humor..." -- Roger Ebert , (Chicago Sun-Times)
