Description of Nutty Professor II - The Klumps (Uncensored Director's Cut):
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
Nutty Professor II - The Klumps (Uncensored Director's Cut) Reviews:
BIG LAUGHS 
2006-12-21 - 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
Talk about Alter Ego!
2006-12-13 - 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
2006-08-13 - 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 
2005-12-31 - 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.
We don't care: we love these movies. Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps.
2005-12-15 - In your face: Nutty Professor 2 The Klumps RULES!!!!!! and Eddie Murphy is the best actor out since Redd Foxx. of Sanford and Son. Place Eddie Murphy, Redd Fox, and Sherman Hemsley from The Jeffersons all in one and you would have a comedy riot. Eddie goes to the break all the rules thing in this it's all good black comedy-funk-LL Cool J- Tone Loc-Will Smith-Redd Foxx- Sherman Hemsley- kinda gig. Eddie Murphy returns as sherman Klump. With the help An American Werewolf In London's Make-Up Special Effects Artist Rick Baker. Sherman is getting Married, and the rest of the Klump family is invited. OH SHERMAN SHERMAN SHERMAN. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE FAMILY GETTING TOGETHER HAVIN A GOOD MEAL. Quote from THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. Sherman has invented a new product. a youth formula that reverses aging. but beware... Buddy Love [Murphy] is back and wants to steal his invention. I KNOW WHAT HEALTHY IS. Quote from THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. I STILL KNOW WHAT HEALTHY IS. Quote from me. Eddie Murphy RULES.
