You won't be disappointed!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Frustrated by erratic and uncontrollable behavior at the hands of his troublesome alter ego, Professor Sherman Klump undergoes an experiment that separates his personality and allows the suave Buddy Love to become his own person. This time around they're battling each other for possession of invaluable scientific research which only further complicates matters in Sherman's personal life with colleague Jackson. Murphy, who's clearly having fun in his pull-out-all-the-stops portrayal of a horny grandmother, is as likable and energetic as he's ever been, but the script is awfully slim and throws out only a few genuinely funny ideas. A disappointment considering the impact of its predecessor. **
Released in 2000 and directed by Peter Segal, "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" brings back Eddie Murphy as Sherman Klump, grossly overweight professor with a good heart, who's dating a new girl (Janet Jackson) and still battling with his thin, charismatic alter ego, Buddy Love (also Murphy), although the way Buddy manifests is different. Larry Miller is on hand as the dean of the university while Melinda McGraw plays a representative of a company interested in purchasing a youth-giving potion. Like the first movie, Murphy plays all the adult Klump members (Granny, Mama, Papa and Ernie).Janet is a superb replacement for Jada Pinkett Smith as Sherman's girlfriend and, like the first film, Sherman is a sympathetic character while Buddy Love is charismatic. I might be in the minority, but I wasn't a fan of the two Klump dinner table scenes in the 1996 movie, which explains why I feel this sequel is a drop in quality: There are too many tasteless scenes with the Klumps – not to mention unnecessarily crude scenes in general – and not enough with the best characters, Sherman and Buddy Love. Buddy in particular is mysteriously absent much of the time, which is inexplicable in that he was one of the comedic highlights of the earlier movie.The way Eddie plays all the different characters is genius and well-executed, but the film's simply not as funny as the first one, unless you favor flatulence jokes and vulgar humor in general. The first movie had both, but there's more of it here and less of what was good.The movie runs 106 minutes and was shot mostly in the Los Angeles area, but also Moore's Crossroads, South Carolina (presumably the opening church scene).GRADE: C
Terrible excuse for a movie. The first Nutty proffesser had some amusing moments like Fat Murphy getting insulted at a club by stand up comedian Dave Chappell with insulting wisecracks and then getting him back later as thin Murphy with some even funnier wisecracks, and the scenes with Murphy and Ms. Purty. Ms. Purty wasn't even in this movie, and there was hardly even any mention of her. Instead, we got Janet Jackson, who proved to us she just needs to stick to singing. Janet Jackson's a great singer, but acting is a different thing. But the Klumps themselves, oh no. They were sort of funny in the first movie, but even then, the excessive use of fart jokes and colon jokes is just not for me. I sort of liked the joke in the first film about the huge, excessive amounts of food on the dinner table at the Klumps' house. But this movie had absolutely no funny moments with the Klumps at all. It was All constant fart and granny sex jokes from them, excessive yelling, and No funny jokes. They were also used five times as much in this film than in the first film. Less is more. A little of them go a long way. In the first film, there were other funny parts with just Murphy, and I liked the scenes with the dean in the first film who detested fat Murphy and kept giving him a hard time. But in this film, the dean has the most horrible, embarrassingly dreadful scene with a large hamster. And the noise the dean made while the huge hamster had his way with the dean was one of the most terrible, disturbing, embarrassing, horrible HORRIBLE experiences I ever had watching any film. Ever!
This is hard to watch, hard to finish, and hard to remember. Too far is a word this movie capably embodies. Review the number of characters Eddie Murphy plays : Sherman Klump, Buddy Love, Granny Klump, Mama Klump, Papa Klump, Young Papa Klump, Ernie Klump, and Lance Perkinscan. WAW, yet needless to worn you that too far can be too wrong sometimes. In this manner, they went so far with the filthy material to an extent turns the movie into a docudrama about the human body's middle, and its various secretions, or simply one of the most emetic movies ever made ! Mainly the idea is good "The Fountain of Youth", however the script just wanted to play dirty, with nothing but nauseating sex and endless farts in its mind. Movies such as (John Waters)'s, since the start of the 1970s, used to be described as transgressing with historically awful scenes, frankly nasty elements, done in mostly independent production. Mainstream Hollywood comedies, since the end of the 1990s, seem to be feeding on none other than (Waters)'s inspirations. For instance the sexual humor, that this movie savors excessively, is beyond horrible. Just remember an anal sex between a man and a huge hamster, and an oral sex between 80 year old granny and her grandson's alter ego. So the historically awful scenes, the frankly nasty elements,.. are now being done with big budgets, famous stars, and sold as lovable time. See how we live an age where the major studios transgress us !This movie is actually a milestone in the fart comedy (the Hollywood comedy once !). Among the many similar comedies nowadays this one is a godfather and a record. Makes you think deeply; had decency become so old-fashioned? Or had Hollywood become really bankrupt and incredibly dirty in the same time?Look how many family movies Murphy had to make right after it : Shrek (2001), Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), Daddy Day Care (2003), The Haunted Mansion (2003), Shrek 2 (2004), and Imagine That (2009). I can't precisely decide; was that a purgation? Or was it a way to woo his raising kids, trying to persuade them that he's a good movie star or nice person? The thing that I know for sure is that – unfortunately – old habits die hard, because in no time he went, or went back, to make Norbit (2007) !!Still there is a rare angle in it. Remember the scene in which the hamster excretes, rather explodes with excrements, in the face of many dressy people at the press conference? While being one of the top nightmarish moments I have experienced with movies, not believing till now that it had been verily made, I see that it seduces brilliantly a dark place in every one of us, and even satisfies it. Sometimes we hate our world so much; hypocrisy, stupidity, corruption.. whatever the reason why, at that point we want to do what the hamster did, everyone with their hated persons who deserve such a fate best (a machine gun full of you know what !). Ahhh, how fair am I to admit that this movie had something that could sound like "good" after all !At any rate I detest (Nutty Professor II: The Klumps). It's poor, unfunny, and too smelly to stand. It has a talent only in bringing up a shockingly ugly thing every minute, to top it by yet another one in the next minute; which is not my thing at all ! My theory is that you have to be hating the world so much to love this movie altogether. Otherwise, you might hate its makers, wishing them the fate of the dressy people in the press conference moment ! P.S : I loved Hollywood's sneering at this piece of work in Tropic Thunder (2008). Parodying it as "The Fatties: Fart Two" made me feel that lastly I'm not alone in this universe, and that Hollywood does have a conscience, well.. some sort of it anyway !
