Movie Reviews of The Nutty Professor
Movie Review: More than just a remake
Summary: 3 Stars
To some of us, "The Nutty Professor" will always be Jerry Lewis, but Eddie Murphy's vision of the wierd scientist is well worth a look (and a purchase). While the ads emphasised the special effects, Murphy's unique take on the character is enjoyable, though certainly more risque than the original was three or four decades ago. ENDMovie Review: NOT SO NUTTY PROFESSOR
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, Eddie Murphy is amazingly chameleonic in this reworking of Jerry Lewis' classic 1963 comedy. Unfortunately, Eddie's not totally funny in this crass update. If you're into flatulence or fat jokes, then this movie is right up your alley. But its threadbare plot takes second place to Eddie's mugging not only of his title character and alter ego, but also all of the Klumps as well. Jada Pinkett is the customary African/American woman who does her best (Like Halle Berry or Vanessa Williams) to look as Caucasian as she can. The late James Coburn as a cameo role as a hotshot millionaire out to fund Murphy's research project, and Dave Chappelle has a bit as a stand up comic who is not all that funny either. While the intentions are good, THE NUTTY PROFESSOR of 1996 doesn't capture the manic charisma of the one and only Jerry Lewis whose mugging was more charming than obnoxious.Movie Review: The last prejudice
Summary: 1 Stars
If Roseanne or Drew Carey or John Goodman or Louie Anderson or Oprah made a movie that portrayed African American's as Uncle Tom's, Aunt Jamima's, pimps or any other stereotype, there would be an uproar. Yet the last acceptable prejudice, "fatism" seems a fair target for a man who should know better. Obesity is a disease. A disease with no cure and no successful treatment. When the word diet pops in your mind, remember that only 5% of people that go on diets are able to keep the weight off. This number includes the "normal" people who need to lose only a few pounds. Most people gain back more weight than they have lost. Americans, the most diet conscious people on earth, have more fat people than "normal" people. Fat is the norm, yet it is fine to portray fat people as ugly, socially inept, clumsy objects of ridicule. During the last 50 years, we have identified many prejudices and have tried to right the wrongs of our society. Don't let the last and possibly the greatest (no pun intended) prejudice continue. Boycott this movie and all movies that ridicule others because of their physical appearance. Eddie is at it again - with Laugh at Fat People II aka Nutty Rrofessor 2. After he finishes this he will be doing "Those Crazy Cripples" and "The Deformed Morons"...Movie Review: hey eddie? howzabout making a movie about washed-up black comics who dig transvestite hookers?
Summary: 1 Stars
an amazingly bad movie. eddie murphy (who was funny in the 80s) manages the near-impossible: he makes jerry lewis seem sophisticated. now dont get me wrong; i love stupid comedy -- when its funny. murphy never convinces an iota here in the role of the HUGE professor klump. there is scads of humor to be mined in the struggles of fat people to fit into the normal world (take my word, i know about THAT) -- just recall oliver hardy's girth getting him stuck in a doorway during his attempt to escape bogeyland -- but murphy is merely contemptuous and nasty. well, contemptuous and nasty in a comedy i can accept, but it better be funny. this movie has a high spot on my list of the 10 worst i have ever seen.
Movie Review: Vulgar bathroom humor.
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
