Nutty Proffessor VHS Video.
Added 11/2/2009
I love this movie, it's absolutely funny and has a good morale to the story, on why people should accept people the way they are especially in an age where everybody is crazy about thin models.

A Real Showcase For Eddie Murphy
Added 5/25/2009
Eddie Murphy at the dinner table playing every character but the kid is one of the funniest scenes I remember from any 1990s comedy. But don't play this DVD to your young kids.
His humor is very crude and nasty in the film - sometimes too much so, especially for another of these questionable PG-13 ratings - to give this a "5" but it does have a ton of laughs, courtesy of Murphy. Eddie is remarkable as all these characters. I believe he plays seven in all. This is probably his biggest 'showcase' ever on film, demonstrating his comedic talents.
Even though this has a childlike-romance-type feel to it, and a nice message about bias against fat people, it's certainly not "family fare." This is a LONG way away from the original Jerry Lewis movie.
Still....for adults, this movie provides a ton of laughs.

5 stars for Murphy, 4 for the movie
Added 11/22/2008
Right off the bat - Eddie Murphy deserved an Oscar for his performance in this movie. Robbing him for this extraordinary performance that I dare say no other actor in Hollywood today could've pulled off with such ease and brilliance is one of the Academy's biggest oversights. While he did win the National Society of Film Critics award, Murphy wasn't even nominated for the Oscar. Granted, the history of head-scratching moves by the Academy could fill pages; neglecting Murphy's work in this movie seems like one of the best examples of how comedy is largely ignored by the Academy.
As for the movie, The Nutty Professor is crudely funny and highly enjoyable. Murphy is the only reason to watch the movie since he is on screen nearly the entire time in one character or another, and he never disappoints in any of the roles he plays. The plot is largely superfluous because the real treat of the movie is watching Murphy vamp and carry-on as only this comedic superstar can. This movie is Eddie Murphy on steroids and that makes for one hugely entertaining romp. If you wish to see one of the most impressive performances in cinema, catch The Nutty Professor and simply marvel at Murphy. Eddie hasn't always chosen the best parts but this tour-de-force is simply stunning.

Vulgar bathroom humor.

The Nutty Professor is complete trash! Eddie Murphy is not that funny, don't understand why people thinks he's brilliant. Jada Pinkett Smith is even worse, terrible actress and she is just famous because of her husband. I couldn't find anything fresh about this remake, don't watch this pathetic film.
