Review of The Nutty Professor (1996) by Alexander D — 30 Sep 2011
Starring Eddie Murphy (yeah, he's in his fat suit again), THE NUTTY PROFESSOR is elatedly dumb--as in really dumb.
We'd all like to think that Eddie Murphy is a funny guy. Truly he is, and if you've ever seen his stand-up comedy, it's great; the man just has trouble constructing a good movie.
There's two signs of "ehhh" in this one: a) Eddie Murphy is in a fat suit, which I already mentioned; b) at least ten characters are portrayed by Eddie Murphy. The latter means that either no one wanted to make a film this ridiculous, or Murphy just had a lot of time on his hands.
If you want the bottom line: I can't remember laughing. I might have laughed five or six times, but that's it. Mr. Murphy, I think it's time you put your fat suit away. It's becoming offensive and cliched.
