Classic Movie Wednesday #4 The Nutty Professor


Nutty Professor movie review
 
Eddy Murphy in a fat suit who's brilliant idea is that? This week I decided I'd watch one of Eddy Murphy's best movies. I understand that's not saying much considering his best is probably Shrek an animated film. First, the basic plot of this film isn't very creative. Its about a fat professor who wants to lose weight using science. Now it does get interesting when he becomes skinny because he develops an alternate personality named Bobby Love. Bobby Love is a jerk to be honest the polar opposite of Sherman Klump. In addition Eddy Murphy plays just about every character in this movie; he plays the entire Klump family except the youngest Klump. Eddy Murphy did a decent job in this film. Some of his funniest moments come from his characters Bobby Love and the family at the dinner table. In fact the majority of what I enjoyed about this film took place at the dinner table scenes. One character I found annoying was a comedian that Sherman and his date went to see. This guy wasn't even funny and was extremely rude. A good feel moment of this movie was when Eddy Murphy got up on stage and made fun of him. The only plus of having this character was that he was susceptible to some of the funniest jokes. One thing that didn't make sense to me in this movie was that Sherman got a date with a girl way out of his league. Seriously, I get that its not whats on the outside, but come on he is about four hundred pounds and has no personality. In conclusion the Nutty Professor is a descent movie. It has its moments in the comedy department, but as far as story goes its not that great. Frankly they could have just filmed a movie about the Klump family because that would have been hilarious. So The Nutty Professor gets a 5 out of 10. Its not bad its just not amazing its worth at least one watch. Just about everyone will laugh at some point in this film not the entire time but some times. If you want more laughs watch Batman from the 1960s and pretend like they are serious actors. Gosh darn Batman what are we going to do? If anyone takes this seriously please take the time to sit down and watch a good movie. Perhaps the Dark Knight or Ghostbusters or Mission Impossible.Please don't give up on movies until you try others.
