Eddie Murphy stars as shy Dr. Sherman Klump, a kind, brilliant, 'calorifically challenged' genetic professor. When beautiful Carla Purty joins the university faculty, Sherman grows desperate to whittle his 400-pound frame down to size and win her heart. So, with one swig of his experimental fat-reducing serum, Sherman becomes 'Buddy Love', a fast-talking, pumped-up , plumped down Don Juan.

A classic story that does not really work here with Eddie Murphy. He just tries too hard. Though not entirely terrible, I would rater recommend that you watch the much better 1968 version with Jerry Lewis.

Always seen bits of this film on TV, but never watched it in full. I saw that this was recently back on TV so I thought I'd watch it in full, and I didn't regret it, I really enjoyed it from start to finish. Nice and light, funny, that's all there is to it to brighten up a dull, dark evening.

Eddie Murphy was a superstar in the 80s and 90s. He could not go wrong, every movie he shot was a success. In my opinion, he was above his peak when he made The Nutty Professor. Eddie Murphy does Eddie Murphy times X. One of the most blatant self-expressions ever put to film. Everybody else in this movie are just extras. That's just too much.
