I think we all have relatives, in-laws and family members that we could identify with in `The Nutty Professor 2'
although they may not be as extreme as some of these characters.
This movie is basically the `Eddie Murphy Show' as he plays the entire Klump family. The basic story line revolves around Sherman Klump developing the formula for age reversal. Somewhere along the way, Buddy Love (Sherman's alter self) gets his hands on it and decides that he's going to be the one to reap the benefits of this youth formula. I don't want to give away too much of the plot and ruin it for you.
The makeup in this movie was fantastic. The fat suits that Murphy wears are so realistic and follow his movements so well that you think these characters were real. He plays all the characters so differently but at the same time with a hint of similarity that it's not hard to believe that they're all related to each other. He particularly plays Grandma Klump well. She is such a riot and so is Mother Klump. It seems that Eddie Murphy's career is starting to turn the corner.
Janet Jackson plays Sherman's girlfriend moderately well. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad just ok. At times she seemed to look like she was struggling to find the right way to display the emotion the particular scene called for but otherwise she was fine. She will get better as she gains more experience.
The one thing that may have taken away from this movie was that it may have had one too many crude toilet jokes. Most of them were inserted at the right moment but there was the odd one that wasn't really necessary and could potentially have been annoying.
Overall, this was an entertaining movie. If nothing else, see this movie just to see Eddie's different characters.
