Product Description
America's funniest family back for seconds! Eddie Murphy is hilarious when he stars as the entire Klump family in this enormous comedy blockbuster. The hilarity begins when professor Sherman Klump finds romance with fellow DNA specialist, Denise Gaines (Janet Jackson), and discovers a brilliant formula that reverses aging. But Sherman's thin and obnoxious alter ego, Buddy Love, wants out… and a big piece of the action. And when Buddy gets loose, things get seriously nutty. Now, it's up to Mama, Papa, Ernie and Granny Klump to throw their weight around and save the day in this whopping, gut-busting comedy Good Morning America calls an "incredible piece of filmmaking." Applauded by audiences and critics alike, Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper give Nutty Professor II: The Klumps: "two thumbs up." |

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 |

Amazing! Eddie and Janet make a great team! by Ross Braulio (Chicago, IL)  4 Stars
September 16, 2009
Calling Eddie Murphy a comedic genius is an understatement. Likewise, calling Janet Jackson a singing superstar is also an understatement. Now where would you find these two names together I hear you say? Well in the sequel to one of the funniest films ever made in recent years of course. Unless you've been hiding for the last 2 months or just never ever listen to the radio, you won't have missed the new Janet Jackson song that goes round and round in your head forever. The catchy summer tune is one of the songs that although annoying, it's kind of catchy. Well `Doesn't Really Matter' is the theme tune to the new Eddie Murphy movie - Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps. But Ms Jackson doesn't just appear on the soundtrack; she's in the movie as well! In the movie, we see the lovable 28-stone Sherman Klump return with the rest of his family entail. If you think your way back to the 1996 re-make of the Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor, then you'll remember Buddy Love, Sherman's alter-ego. Just as Professor Klump thought he'd got rid of him for good, Buddy pops up again - but not without a plan. He breaks free of Sherman's body for good and is determined to ruin his plans to we his colleague Denise Gaines played by the illustrious Janet Jackson. Sherman's new youth formula has fallen into Buddy's hands, and it looks like Klump is losing his intelligence - for good! From the beginning I knew that it was going to be a laughter packed movie because judging by the first scene, Eddie's performances as Sherman, Mama, Papa, Ernie and last but not least Grandma Klump are so believable, that it is as if they are five different people. The second most important Klump character in the film is Granny Klumps whose sexual appetite knows no bounds, and as she spots Buddy sneaking around the Klump family home, she has only one thing on her mind! As a singer, people don't realise that Janet has a long history of acting. As a child, she starred in many American sitcoms including Fame and Good Times and went on to star in the 1993 John Singleton (Shaft, Boyz N The Hood) film `Poetic Justice' alongside the late Tupac (Shakur). `I've never stopped receiving scripts since Poetic Justice,' Janet said, `but there was either a scheduling conflict, the script was too similar to Poetic Justice or I didn't really like it. But when Nutty came along, I jumped at the chance. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with Eddie?' Although as a Janet fan, you may say I'm being biased, Janet really does a good job acting here. `I really wanted people to think of me as Denise. I hope that people will be able to separate Denise from Janet.' And one genuinely can. However, the movie isn't 100% perfect. Where it faulters is in terms of a decent storyline. It felt like a bit of a re-trip to the first movie with a similar plot. The film, though, is hilarious and will have you repeating lines for days after it, but my only recommendation is that you see it twice. The first time round, you are getting to grips with the storyline, and I have to admit, because I didn't catch all the jokes, I didn't find it that funny. But when you go back a second time, as you know the basic storyline (which is there - despite what I said earlier), you can listen in for the jokes, as they are quite hard to catch sometimes. Altogether, Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps is very good - in fact it is one of the best sequels (save M:I2) that I have seen. It was always going to be difficult to follow up the success of The Nutty Professor, but seeing that it took over $45 million in its first weekend at the US Box Office, this is sure to be a hit in the UK as well.

Somethings Missing! by Lost Soul Critic (Charleston WV)  3 Stars
June 23, 2009
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.

Talk about Alter Ego! by V. C. Mumpower (Edgewater, FL) 5 Stars
December 13, 2006
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.
