    Eight different characters, all played by Murphy, all convincing, each with its own personality. This is not just a stunt. It is some kind of brilliance.
  2. 60
    Too often, the movie is more forced and frantic than actually funny.
  3. He (Murphy) can't make chicken a la king from the chicken manure supplied by the writers.
  4. This inferior sequel is doomed by a lousy - and extremely vulgar - script.

  1. Aw come on. This is one of my favorite movies ever. It's funny and well...it's good. Scratch that, excellent!!! I couldn't even find one flaw! I would give it a chance and if you're into comedy, you'll love this. Expand
  2. Eddie's back and thanks to the success of the hilarious Klump family in the first film the sequel was based around them. It's probably on par with the first film with just as many jokes, and I loved having more of the Klumps on screen, but that 'dinner scene' has lost its effect from the first film. Janet replaces Jada and she fits in well with the film. There is a nice blend of comedy mixed with good messages but overall its a great comedy and again Eddie's best work in my opinion. Expand

    It's actually a pretty funny movie to watch. Not one of the best comedies but it's going to laugh out loud for sure! My score for "Nutty Professor 2" is 7/10, but not because it has some issues, it's just my personal score, i just like other kind of comedies, as i said it's still great though! Expand
