The Nutty Professor (1996)

"The movie succeeds in two different ways: It's sweet and good-hearted, and then again it’s raucous slapstick and bathroom humour."

"I’m not much of a Murphy fan, but this movie made me laugh a lot."

"Mr. Murphy proves himself a surprisingly strong actor here, playing Sherman with sweetness and poignancy..."

"Without Murphy, The Nutty Professor is practically worthless."

"Whilst this doesn't really bear repeated viewing it works as a family film, especially if most of your family is a bunch of 13 year old boys."

"An uneven but hilarious remake."

"The film’s personality is as deeply split as the gap between Sherman and Buddy. But it’s hard to argue with laughs..."

"Only when Murphy stops skewering the compulsive overeater in his nutty professor and targets the sexist pig does the film hit home."

"An apt and comic update of the Jekyll/Hyde formula."

"A canny and exuberant update..."
