[Murphy] is able to invest his Professor Klump with an endearing dignity, give his lounge lizard alter ego, Buddy Love, an alligator's bite and then go on from there to play Klump's grandma. Also his mother, father and brother.
Murphy's most assured work in some time.
This is good, seamless comedy.
This is a chance to see Murphy doing what he does best, and for that alone it's worth seeing.
The flick is sketch comedy spun out to feature length.
Eddie Murphy is funny again. Sadly, he lacks the guts to follow through on the cathartic self-satire that gives the film its distinction.
Audience Reviews for The Nutty Professor
The makeup is awesome and it is fun to see Eddie Murphy having fun playing so many different characters, but the movie is pretty juvenile, relying on a lot of fart jokes that get tired real fast, and has an ending even more implausible than that of Jerry Lewis' version.

This remake of The Nutty Professor is absolutely hilarious. I think its Murphy's best film and the one he gave his absolute best on. He enthusisatically plays the entire family, having to sit through 6 hours of make-up a day which would depress and annoy most comedy actors today who care more about the money they make then the performance they give. Murphy doesn't resort to this therefore i'm proud to say his performance in the film was solid. The movie itself as I said hilarious!

At the time of release, I found this movie to be very funny because it created the modern day genre of one actor playing multiple roles. Eddie Murphy killed as every role and set the stage for other films like it such as the Tyler Perry films, etc.
