The Nutty Professor (1996) Review: Eddie Murphy's Multi-Role Comedy
Discover why this 90s comedy, driven by Eddie Murphy's unparalleled multi-character performance, still sparks strong emotional reactions today, balancing genuine heart with highly risqué humor.
Short Summary
- Eddie Murphy delivers a masterclass, playing Professor Sherman Klump and his entire eccentric family across multiple roles.
- The film explores the conflict between self-acceptance and seeking external validation through an attractive alter-ego, Buddy Love, highlighting themes of authenticity.
- Viewers note the extreme physical comedy and dated, politically incorrect material, suggesting it might not hold up for sensitive modern audiences.
- The technical achievement in the prosthetic makeup and visual effects, especially the dual-role scenes, is highly praised.
This review analyzes the plot progression, focusing intensely on the chaotic consequences of Professor Klump's transformation serum and the strong family dynamics presented through Eddie Murphy's acting range. While celebrated for its hilarity, the hosts acknowledge its heavy reliance on edgy, potentially offensive humor typical of the era.

We need “Coming To America”🤞🏾🤞🏾
Eddie Murphy literally played half of the cast in this movie, and it still felt like all different people!
“HERCULES, HERCULES” is such an iconic line.
Eddie said he actually wore the suit out in public, which he's done before, to get a feel of his character. He said the whispers, looks and comments he got, really made him see how cruel people can be. He drew on that during the roasting session at the club.
This movie kinda foreshadowed Ozempic, minus the addition of Eddie’s charisma haha 😂
57:40 Jaby's critique was spot on with the other critics at the time about wanting more of the Klumps. So, its on to Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps next!
A classic Eddie Murphy film that most of us grew up on and use to quote religiously like the Hercules, Hercules!!! line 🤣🤣🤣
Nutty Professor 2: The Klumps, DO THAT NEXT!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The nutty professor is pure nostalgia and one of the funniest movies ever and still holds up 30 years later. Such a classic. The second one is my favorite one too!
Eddie Murphy and Dave Chappelle's roast was funny as hell in this movie
