BOWFINGER: In this Frank Oz film, washed-up director Bobby Bowfinger finds his dream movie script, but not the financing that will make the movie happen. Desperate, Bowfinger stalks and films famous action star Kit Ramsey reacting to his own oddball group of actors, making Kit the movie's hero without his knowledge. Kit, already paranoid, starts to lose it as strangers approach him to discuss alien invasions. But one problem remains: The dramatic conclusion to the film can be filmed only with Kit's assistance--or by pushing him entirely over the edge. LIFE: Lawrence and Murphy are two criminals who are sent to jail. Once there, they are confronted by a series of individuals who were victims of the bumbling hoods on the outside. Comic situations ensue... THE NUTTY PROFESSOR: Eddie Murphy stars as a grossly overweight chemistry professor in this update of the classic 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy. Eager to reinvent himself and to ease his loneliness, the professor develops a potion that magically transforms him into a lean, mean, sex machine, capable of seducing any woman in sight, but he loses his niceness along the way. Academy Award Nominations: Best Makeup. THE NUTTY PROFESSOR II: THE KLUMPS: This sequel to the remake of the original 1963 film features Eddie Murphy reprising his many roles as Dr. Sherman Klump, Buddy Love, and a host of other Klump family members. The film focuses on Klump's efforts to woo a new university professor, Denise (Janet Jackson). After a failed DNA experiment separates Buddy from Klump, he must use Denise's research to squash Buddy once and for all. Of course, Murphy's multi-role performance is the highlight of this wacky comedy. [More]
