THE NUTTY PROFESSOR (1996)

Sherman Klump is your typical good guy: charming, witty, comical, good-hearted, and, of course, obese. Currently on the verge of a scientific breakthrough with a recent DNA reconstruction project, Professor Klump's life is forever changed when the new and beautiful addition to his University faculty, Carla, concedes to Klump that she is one of his biggest fans. Completely enamored, Klump decides to test his project on himself in hopes that he can be transformed into a thinner, more viable candidate for Carla. But the results produce anything but the same good lovin' Klump; instead, in Klump's wake is the vivaciously over-the-top, lecherous Buddy Love whose Rico Suave moves complicate things more than just a little in this modern-day "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde" romantic comedy.

Director Tom Shadyac's THE NUTTY PROFESSOR is a fun, funny, film fantasy.

The cast includes: Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett, James Coburn, Dave Chappelle, Larry Miller, and John Ales.
