My Age: 13
Professor Sherman Klump, played by Eddie Murphy, is an overweight teacher who falls in love with a new teacher at his school, Carla Purty, played by Jada Pinkett. He wants to lose weight fast and begins testing his DNA restructuring medicines (to lose weight) on himself. The new product: Buddy Love, played by Eddie Murphy. Unlike Sherman, Buddy has a sex life, and he goes out with Carla also. There is also someone on campus trying to make big money with Sherman's potion, but he is more impressed by Buddy, who he thinks is behind all the real work.
The Nutty Professor is quite a funny film, with a lovable and good character in Professor Sherman Klump, but it also has a character who you like at first, but then there's too much of him, and his quick tauntings get annoying and irritating. That character is Buddy Love. However, this character does not stop The Nutty Professor from being a good film. I enjoyed the conversations at the Klump family's dinner table and the whole idea of the miracle potion. The romance in this film is also better than expected, and I loved how Eddie Murphy played almost his entire family. The make up and effects done to make Eddie Murphy into a fat, overweight man like Sherman are also very good. Overall, the only annoying thing in the film is Buddy Love.
