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 their inner Buddy Love. That goes for Murphy, too. --Andy Spletzer

 Somethings Missing! June 23, 2009
Lost Soul Critic (Charleston WV)
I've owned 'Nutty Professor II "The Klumps" ' (Uncensored Director's Cut), for several years. I wanted to see the movie in 'Hi-Def'. As always there is a clear difference between the Standard Definition and the HD Definition discs. I thought there wouldn't be that much of a difference between 'Uncensored' and 'Theatrical Release'. I was wrong. It seems almost like two different movies. And the bazaar thing about it is, there's nothing in the 'Uncensored Version' that's any more offensive than in the 'Theatrical Release'. I use the term "offensive" from the view point of the Almighty gods Of Censorship. Who must dictate proper morality to heathens like me. I'm one who believes in free speech being truly free. Anyway I digress. Until there is a 'Hi-Def'(which of course will have to be Blue-Ray)release of this movie, I will continue to watch my SD DVD of it. If the 'Theatrical Release' is what you're used to anyway, then by all means this is a good deal on an HD DVD.

EDDIE IS SO HILARIOUS. HE IS THE ENTIRE FAMILY OF THE KLUMPS. SHERMAN FINDS TRUE LOVE WITH THE BADDEST CHIC. HIS ALTER EGO BUDDY LOVES SIMPLY TRIES TO SET HIM

Eddie Murphy is back and strong! Not only does Eddie Murphy carry the multi-personality aspect well, he also adds a strange yet hilariously familiar warm-fuzzy to the film! Awe inspiring Richard Prior is another comedian that made the transition to film making rather smoothly. I've yet to view a Murphy film I didn't like and hope he makes many-many more.
The last greatness of Eddie Murphy August 13, 2006

I enjoyed both of the films and even though in a way it makes fun of fat people, It's a great movie. I actually liked this better than the first one for some reason. And wo doesn't like the part when grampa Klump farts and lights a curtain on fire (I think that was him anyway). After this film, Murphy's movie career was going downhill (and I mean way down there to a point that you don't slide, you just fall.) I'm sorry to say this but it is just true.
A SHOWCASE FOR EDDIE MURPHY December 31, 2005

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II is basically a showcase for the considerable talents of Eddie Murphy. Murphy plays the entire Klump family and he's hilarious in the different characterizations, especially his doting mother and his rather vulgar grandmother. The makeup is astounding in hiding the real Murphy and he has a field day with all of them. As one reviewer noted, Sherman is the most boring of all the characters, and his romantic tryst with Janet Jackson (who is surprisingly good) tends to get in the way of the script's flow. While much of the humor is crude (e.g., the hamster's sexual assault on Dean Larry Miller), one can't help but laugh. There are sexual jokes, flatulence galore, and some hilarious sight gags. Certainly not a classic movie, but admittedly entertaining.
