Review of Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000) by Danni C — 09 Mar 2011

When have we seen the same performer playing both parts in a sexual situation? It happens here, not once but twice. There's more than enough cheerfully vulgar humor in this ungainly enterprise. But what never fails to interest is the virtuoso acting display by Murphy. With four credited writers, the script of The Klumps doesn't always quite flow, but Murphy's unparalleled prowess smooths over the rough spots. The Klumps is an enjoyable time at the movies: its overall high spirits--and, of course, the simple fact that it makes you laugh. 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. Frequently hilarious.

VERDICT: "Matinée" - (Mixed reaction). These kinds of movies are usually movies that had some good things, but some bad things kept it from being amazing. This rating says to pay matinée prices to see at a theatre or buy an ex rental or a cheap price the DVD to own.
