Lucky for Eddie Murphy he got ahold of the rights to this 1963 Jerry Lewis classic before Jim Carrey did. Murphy had a comeback of sorts with his Jeckyll-and-Hyde-derived fable of awkward chemistry professor Sherman Klump (Murphy), who discovers a potion that transforms him into the suave, cocky lady-killer Buddy Love (also Murphy). The big difference between the two versions is that Murphy's Sherman is not only a nerdy intellectual but is also grossly obese, which provides the opportunity for some hilarious digital transformation effects, as well as some gentle satire of our culture's attitudes toward fat people. As he did in the hit Coming to America, Murphy plays multiple roles, and the scenes at the Klump family dinner table, in which he plays everybody, are brilliantly funny. (Murphy won the National Society of Film Critics' award for best actor of 1996 for these performances.) Lewis based his Buddy Love on the 1960s ideal of cool exemplified by Sinatra and the Rat Pack; Murphy stumbles a bit by playing up the oily phoniness of his latter-day Love a little too soon, but for the most part The Nutty Professor represents a welcome return to form for Eddie Murphy. --Jim Emerson

hey eddie? howzabout making a movie about washed-up black comics who dig transvestite hookers?.......2006-10-06

an amazingly bad movie. eddie murphy (who was funny in the 80s) manages the near-impossible: he makes jerry lewis seem sophisticated. now dont get me wrong; i love stupid comedy -- when its funny. murphy never convinces an iota here in the role of the HUGE professor klump. there is scads of humor to be mined in the struggles of fat people to fit into the normal world (take my word, i know about THAT) -- just recall oliver hardy's girth getting him stuck in a doorway during his attempt to escape bogeyland -- but murphy is merely contemptuous and nasty. well, contemptuous and nasty in a comedy i can accept, but it better be funny. this movie has a high spot on my list of the 10 worst i have ever seen.

Hysterical.......2006-07-09

Totally awesome movie with jokes and sight gags galore. Eddie Murphy is one talented man playing all those roles of the Cletus family plus Buddy Love. A little crude yet but alot of laughing......gas!

Definitely pick this one up and pass on the sequel as that one overdoses on the fart jokes. This one uses a multi-joke formula all the way to success.

Could be the funniest movie you ever see.......2006-06-30

I stopped from viewing this movie for a long time becouse I was told that it was nowhere near as good as the original. Well let me set this straight. Jerry Lewis does a fantastic job in the original and his rendition of Buddy Love was somewhat more dramatic then Eddie Murphy but Eddie has to be the funniest actor alive. Almost from the time the movie started right up 'till near the end I was in tears from laughing so hard. Eddie Murphy is not only funny but he can act as well. I love all of his movies that I've seen so far. And I will take what people tell me about remakes with a very large grain of salt from now on.

Review: The Nutty Professor.......2005-11-19

Eddie Murphy did a great job in The Nutty Professor with his role as Professor Sherman Klump/Buddy Love and also playing the entire Klump family. While watching scenes from the family dinners it is obvious what a great job Murphy did in this film. Each of the family members has their own personality and quarks that make the otherwise pointless dinners very enjoyable and fun to watch. The special effects and make-up used in this film are also amazing and they portrayed very real looking qualities.
Sherman Klump, a very bright professor who is also dealing with an obesity issue, finds himself falling for a colleague, Miss Carla Perdy. Klump is convinced that he doesn't have a chance with Carla because of his appearance. He believes that he needs to change himself in order to get Carla to appreciate him so he decides to try a formula, which he has been testing on hamsters, on himself. The formula is a DNA restructuring chemical and when it is ingested by Klump he drops 300 pounds immediately. This skinny, obnoxious and loud version of Professor Klump comes to be known as Buddy Love. Buddy is very critical of people, especially obese people, and he is determined to take over Klump's body and his life.
This movies main objective is to show that you should be happy with yourself. The jokes in this film were also carefully thought through so they wouldn't offend most viewers, especially overweight viewers. I found this movie to be more enjoyable than the original, starring Jerry Lewis, which has very few similarities with this version. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a little comic relief.

Description

Eddie Murphy gives the "performances" of his career playing no less than seven roles in this uproarious Jekyll-and-Hyde comedy from Imagine Entertainment. Murphy stars as Dr. Sherman Klump, a kind, "calorically challenged" genetics professor who longs to shed his 400-pound frame in order to win the heart of beautiful Jada Pinkett. So, with one swig of his experimental fat-reducing serum, Sherman becomes "Buddy Love", a fast-talking, pumped-up, plumped-down Don Juan. Can Sherman stop his buff alter ego before it's too late, or will Buddy have the last laugh? Boasting incredible special effects, a super soundtrack, and co-starring James Coburn, Larry Miller, Dave Chappelle and John Ales, this hilarious hit is worth its weight in fun!

I feel totally ripped off by Amazon for listing this to make it look like it's part of the Classic Albums series. THAT series features interviews with actual band members, producers and fellow musicians. THIS DVD is part of a series featuring a disclaimer indicating, "This film is unauthorised and is not associated or approved in any way by present and past members of Guns N Roses...".

A rip off.......2006-04-09

I am a huge Guns N' Roses fan and enjoy getting to learn all of the shocking stories about GN'R that tend to surface around;however this DVD is a total rip off--take my word on that one. Don't let the false advertising for this DVD trick you--all that is on this DVD is what is supposed to be a "film" on Guns N' Roses that has pretty much everything any hardcore GN'R fan already knows about the group,some rare live performances of GN'R songs,which,while they are cool performances,are either just presented as excerpts or during a middle of an interview with some of the people that are in this DVD (mostly rock journalists and maybe a few musicians--who really cares there)while the snippets of Izzy Stradlin's voice that Stradlin recorded for this DVD about Guns N' Roses really aren't even all that impressive either. There are some good photos of Guns N' Roses that are to be found as a bonus feature on this DVD,and the "film" that is on this DVD has a little bit of really good footage from GN'R's St. Louis 1991 show which resulted in a riot after a fan had a camera in the audience and Axl Rose had gotten mad and had decided to take the issue into his own hands,but besides those two small things and a GN'R fact that I had never known about until watching this DVD,this DVD is not worth either the time or the money. If you want a collection of Guns N' Roses DVDS,go get the official releases ("Welcome To The Videos",the "Use Your Ilusion I" concert DVD and the "Use Your Illusion II" concert DVD,and then find some rare GN'R DVDS and maybe even "The Axl Rose:The Prettiest Star" DVD). This DVD is an embarrassment and a disgrace to both Guns N' Roses and GN'R fans who patiently wait for the release of "Chinese Democracy". Give us loyal GN'R fans something we don't know or already have--and give us the full deal on it as well.

George Milton's Appetite is a sad Euro-pudding art-house psychological drama set in a somber Isle of Man hotel, a reserved, restrained British version of the Eagle's "Hotel California" by way of The Shining's Overlook. It's a timeless place stuck outside of the social world where the lost and lonely wander and wallow in their own regrets. Chanteuse Ute Lemper is an aging beauty and the hotel's resident matron ("I came here to kill myself, but I never managed to finish my suicide note," she jokes grimly), Trevor Eve is the proprietor in love with Lemper but paralyzed by the memories of his dead wife, and Yse Tran is a grown orphan glumly plotting her own suicide while awaiting the arrival of her estranged mother. Into this melancholy mix blows angry, aggressive British sailor Christien Anholt, who shakes the somber mood with a game of dare that sends Tran into the "haunted" room 207 and sets to work on the vulnerabilities of the other wounded souls. This film is not a horror movie or a ghost story, despite the misleading promotion, but a dreamy little drama of regret, revenge, and quiet frustration. Handsomely shot and directed with a moodiness so thick you could carve it, the oddly captivating tale never quite finds its balance and threatens to drift off in any number of directions (as one guest plays with a handgun in his room, the score evokes the music from Taxi Driver), but finally drifts into a lovely denouement that is sad, hopeful, and satisfying. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews:

Not a horror movie.......2007-01-09

Let me say that this movie is not a horror flick. It is billed as that and it is far from that. It reminded me of the movie clue with everyone's secrets and in the end there is someone that are dead. This is more like a soap opera with all of the "stories" that people are holding. It is a very odd movie. I gave it two stars because it did have a plot and it seemed very interesting at times, but I was expecting to see a horror movie about a haunted room 207.
