slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every Eddie Murphy movie in order, I come to The Nutty Professor 2: The KlumpsPlot In A Paragraph: Buddy Love returns just as everything is going great for Sherman Klump.I didn't enjoy this at all. I loved the dinner table scene in the first movie, but a little goes a long way. It's too much here. The alleged humour is awfully unfunny. Ruder and cruder does not make it funnier. Considering how much I liked the first one, this, this is a huge disappointment.Nutty Professor 2 grossed $123 million at the domestic box office, to end the year the 16th highest grossing movie of the year.

stormhawk2018 I expected to see lots of variations of the humor that The Nutty Professor (the Murphy version) used in the classic scene of the Klumps at the dinner table. Instead, what little humor this sequel had split time with disgust as the movie went mostly for sexy granny jokes.The sad thing is, more fart humor would have been an *improvement.* This movie was boring. It was uninteresting. It missed numerous opportunities to have some fun. And it spent too much time showing off make-up and not enough time being entertaining.Perhaps most painful to watch was Eddie Murphy just being Eddie Murphy (as Buddy Love). I never understand why some actors/directors think that if a character screams real loud and makes a face, it's funny. It is especially not funny when it happens 2-3 times. In the first movie, Buddy Love was funny (if cruel), and his observations were right on target. In The Klumps, Love is like a grown version of that Home Alone kid, when he grabs his face and just yells at the camera. Uh, if you are done shouting now, can we move on?Janet Jackson was fluff. She is a good singer, but her acting left much to be desired. And I don't know what she has done with her chest, but it seems unusually huge here. What happened to Carla from the first film? In truth, switching Jada Pinkett-Smith for Janet Jackson is like in 2000, we stopped using Pentium PC's (used in 1996, at time of the first film), and go back to use 486 PC's (used mostly in 1990, at Ms. Jackson's peak of her music career).I suppose it would be appropriate to say how well done the make up is as Murphy plays his half-dozen or so characters. Yes, he makes them seem like different people, at least superficially. But none of the characters are really there, you know? They each have little tag lines, and maybe a quirk, and those lines and that quirk are used to death. Take the granny. Yep, she likes sex. She is a sex machine. She wants every man. OK, uh, so? We've seen that 20 times. Can we get to something new? Baby Buddy Love ripping off the blouse of a woman to reveal her bra.Overall, I feel sad to see the level Murphy's wit has been reduced to. He used to be more biting, more insightful and more, well, funny. Now he is a human cartoon.P.S.: I recommend this movie if you're a die hard Eddie Murphy or Janet Jackson fan.

Payback1016 Unlike most people who use different genres as a means of negatively bashing the movie. I mean this in the utmost respect. When you ignore the vulgarity and the other things, both Klumps and the first movie are famous for, you get a movie about two sides of one persona at war with each other and the other side pulling no stops to destroy each other. In the first movie, Buddy was just another part of Sherman's persona, but now that he's been unleashed into the world with none of Sherman's love and common sense to restrain him he becomes a deranged lunatic. He even gives De Niro a run for his money when parodying the Cape Fear Theater scene.

bebop63-1 Starts out hilarious at first with the wedding sequence at the beginning which turns out to be a dream sequence in Sherman's mind, but one can only take so much of the toilet humor and ribbing about fatness and obesity after a while. Apart from the main characters Sherman and Buddy, Eddie Murphy reprises his multiple roles as each of the family members of the Klump family with the exception of the youngest son, and proves his versatility in playing different characters. A pity that there's more emphasis on the fart gags and sexual innuendo than in the actual plot of retrieving the scientific formula and banishing the obnoxious Buddy Love from Sherman's genetic existence. Eddie Murphy is a talented comedic actor, but I hope there is not going to be another sequel to this movie. Time to move on, Eddie.
