First of all, I have no gripe with the movies contained on this DVD: THE NUTTY PROFESSOR I & II....they're both side-splitting funny and worth owning (see other reviews for the plots). My review is intended to warn would-be buyers to stay away from the Franchise Collection DVD containing both movies, one on each side. This DVD may seem like a bargain price-wise, but it's an inferior pressing. Both movies froze up horribly. Right from the start of the Nutty Professor, during the Universal introduction, it began breaking up. It eventually played, but froze up again later. In the case of the Nutty Professor II, the last scene froze up so badly that it jumped right to the End Credits. I never saw the conclusion of the film. Just to make sure that it wasn't my new Samsung DVD player at fault, I inserted the DVD in my PC and the same thing happened, even worse. Never have I had a DVD so defective. I'm beginning to wonder if the DVD was a pirated pressing. In any case, I ended up ordering the two movies separately through Amazon. Perhaps dual-sided DVDs are just prone to defects. Be wary...you've been warned.

Eddie Murphy is a riot in these two equally funny comedies, The Nutty Professor I and II. His performances of the entire Klump family (except the young nephew) are so distinctive, you sometimes forget that he's playing all of them! Jada Pinkett Smith and Janet Jackson also give fine performances. James Coburn's minor role is a marvel in the first film.

One drawback to this DVD is that the powers that be could've at least put some special features for Part I (maybe some more bloopers). But all in all, this is a must-own.

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR 1 & 2 IS FUNNY FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO ENJOY TOGETHER, IF YOU HAVE EDDIE MURPHY SENSE OF HUMOR IT IS EVEN BETTER.

funniest movie i've seen in a long time
good dvd
if you need a good laugh this dvd is the thing that will do it

The product was listed in "very good " condition. But when it arrived the case was the only thing in very good condition. The DVD was scratched terribly on both sides so it skipped constantly on both movies. And to beat it all there was a small chip on the edge of each side of the disc. This was not a " very good DVD! It was a extremely poor DVD. I am very disappointed because I had bought things from this seller before and things were as they said they would be. So it goes to show not everyone is good to their word.

This particular double sided DVD froze up on a couple of occasions per side(movie). Each time I watched both movies, this problem occurred. This problem was noted by another reviewer, which I read, before purchasing this product. Thinking it was an isolated problem, I discovered it is not. Not sure what the problem is, but I am certain the problem does not exist with the DVD player.

This DVD is definitely worth buying since you get both "Nutty Professor" films together and they're both great to watch. Eddie Murphy is at his best playing the entire Klump clan (Granny, Mom, Dad, Professor Klump and the other Klump brother). I have to say though that I like the second "Nutty Professor" movie the best since I love Janet Jackson and she's just great in this film. That's not to say that the first "Nutty Professor" isn't great because it is. Eddie Murphy brings every Klump character alive in these two movies and you'll laugh your head off at the situations he gets into yet there are tender, moving moments in both films as well. Of course, you get happy endings for both films, but the best is found on "The Nutty Professor II". Finally, Professor Klump finds true love and happiness and with hot, sexy Janet Jackson at that.

My husband loves this movie. It was great to have the two together. Thanks

I've seen both versions a few years ago on vhs tape separately. To have them both on one dvd is tremendously convenient and my husband and I laughed all over again at Eddie Murphy's crazy antics. This is a very good bargain and I recommend seeing it again if you haven't for a while.

I really like how this double feature has the flip side.My kids watch this several a day. Now they quote different parts of the movies.Eddie Murphy, Eddie Murphy, & Eddie Murphy are as funny as hell! Yes, & I did mean to say tht 3 times.
