Product Description

THE NUTTY PROFESSOR: Eddie Murphy stars as a grossly overweight chemistry professor in this update of the classic 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy. Eager to reinvent himself and to ease his loneliness, the professor develops a potion that magically transforms him into a lean, mean, sex machine, capable of seducing any woman in sight, but he loses his niceness along the way. Academy Award Nomination: Best Makeup. THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II: Everything is coming up roses for Professor Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy). His fiancée, the equally brilliant Denise Gaines (pop music star Janet Jackson), loves him for his prodigious mind. Sherman's university has just been offered $150 million for the radical new youth serum Sherman has developed. And the big-eating, trash-talking Klump clan (all played by Murphy) couldn't be happier. The only person who can ruin things now is Sherman's nemesis: his id-like alter ego, the smooth-talking, flashy dressing Buddy Love (also played by Murphy). In an attempt to destroy Buddy once and for all, Sherman manages to locate and extract the DNA strand that represents the last remaining trace of his own private Mr. Hyde. But the gene accidentally mutates with a strand of dog hair, giving birth to a brave new Buddy who sniffs out the Klumps. With the help of Academy Award-winning makeup wizard Rick Baker, Murphy magically disappears into multiple roles for uproarious results. NUTTY PROFESSOR II is a hilarious sequel to the 1996 remake.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Chunky Butt is extremely horny!!", June 3, 2008

By	Eric S. Kim (Southern California) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Franchise Collection Version.....Be Wary!, June 23, 2007

By	Peter Prainito (Lombard, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

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.
