Movie description

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.

Editorial reviews

"...Murphy's portrayal of Sherman Klump is surprisingly warm and touching..."
Sight and Sound - Philip Kemp

"...A remake that improves upon the original....A career-reviving smash for Murphy....A sweet spirit..." -- Rating: A-
Entertainment Weekly - Bruce Fretts

"...A surprisingly funny comedy and respectable remake..."
USA Today - Mike Clark

"...Apt and comic....Combining the riotously funny and the sweetly sentimental....Miller is at his obsequious best....Pinkett demonstrates that her range ranks her among the most versatile young performers in movies..."
Variety - Leonard Klady

"...Murphy's back with exuberance and energy....He's very good. And the movie succeeds in two different ways: It's sweet and good-hearted, and then again it's raucous slapstick and bathroom humor..."
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
