The Nutty Professor

Eddie Murphy scores "big" laughs in this high-tech updating of the 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy. Eddie stars as good-natured but overweight college instructor Sherman Klump, who concocts a reducing potion that transforms him into the svelte, hip, and self-absorbed Buddy Love. Which of Murphy's alter egos will survive to win the hand of love interest Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett)? With James Coburn, Larry Miller, Dave Chappelle. 96 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, French Dolby Digital Surround; Subtitles: Spanish; biographies; theatrical trailers.
