Nutty Professor II: The Klumps Audience Reviews

Nonureva Really Surprised!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Python Hyena The Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps (2000): Dir: Peter Segal / Cast: Eddie Murphy, Janet Jackson, Larry Miller, John Ales, Wanda Sykes: Sequel with ideas and innovation that, despite its efforts, never involves viewers. It regards unity or family starring Eddie Murphy who returns as professor Sherman Klump. Janet Jackson is introduced as his fiancé but a gene of egotistical Buddy Love still exists thus preventing Sherman from having total control. Plot regards a youth formula that Buddy wishes to obtain. They have tested it successfully on a dog but a hair drifts into it thus leaving Buddy contracting symptoms. Excellent makeup with a giant hamster poising an attack against police. Directed by Peter Segal who has directed comedy sequels before with the hilarious The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult. Murphy carries the film conveying Sherman and Buddy on screen at once. He also portrays members of the Klump family but the youthful finale lacks emotional payoff. Jackson is no Jada Pinkett. In fact, one could guess that Pinkett suspected that this would not live up to the first film. Larry Miller and John Ales reprise their roles as dean and student associate but they are merely appearances. Special effects are creative and inventive but the youth formula needs explanation that prevents this film from becoming involving and merely settling for big budget chaos. Score: 4 ½ / 10
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.
FlashCallahan Sherman Klump is getting married, and the family could not be more delighted for him. But Buddy Love, his alter-ego, is back and trying to make it on his own. Buddy keeps resurfacing in untimely outbursts, and threatening the professor's marriage plans to Denise. Utilising Denise's cutting edge DNA research, Sherman decides to rid himself of his nemesis, and his outbursts once and for all by extracting Buddy's DNA from his system. But Buddy bursts full bodied into Sherman's world and lays claim to the professor's invention, a revolutionary youth serum. Desperate to keep it from Buddy, Sherman hides the serum in the Klump family home, thinking it will be safe. But to get it, Buddy has to deal with the entire Klump family first....The first film was a return to form for Murphy, he put everything he had into that movie, and it was one of the most heartwarming movies of Murphys career.This in the other hand, is the Buddy Love to that movie. It's loud, crass, really over the top with the innuendo, and worst of all devoid of any laughs.I was looking forward to the family having dinner scene, but it was basically the same as the first, and everything that you liked about Sherman was taken away, thanks to his little outbursts every now and again.The first film had a great script and story, but this relies heavily on gross out humour and disgusting set pieces.This was the beginning of Murphys second decline, almost ten years after his first, and apart from Shrek, he still has to recover.It's his worst movie by miles, and i've seen Best Defence.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews After the unfunny and in general uninteresting first, this, as the title suggests, focuses on the family. You know, the most obnoxious and stupid aspect in a movie entirely built on the two. As expected, it does not turn out well. This is nastier, louder, dumber and every other time they thought they had a punchline, they repeated it excessively. The Klumps have one-note personalities, and the fact that their flat and stereotypical characters in no way have enough dimensions to be the focus of an entire feature is evident in the fact that this is also about Sherman, whose job and relationship with the attractive female lead is threatened by the actions of Buddy, whom he cannot control. Wait... that's the plot of the original! Well, Pinkett-Smith was smart and did not reprise her role(I'd personally like to think that she channeled her hubby and answered the makers of this mess with a big ol' heartfelt "aw, hell no!"), so they got Janet Jackson and her breasts instead, and writing Jada off with a single "explanatory" line. Plus, Mr. Love gets a body of his own, and... get this... he behaves in a dog-like manner! Isn't that hilarious? No, it isn't, but it's about as good as it gets here. Common sense goes out the window to make way for more "jokes" and gags. The effects are better, though they push them way too far. There are no genuine laughs to be found here. The ethical ramifications are mentioned and not explored. Production is standard. Even if you liked the 1996 flick, you probably won't enjoy this; go ahead and ask people who have watched both. There is crude and sexual material in this. I recommend this only to those who refuse to miss it. 3/10
