The movies I know of Eddie Murphy are all comedies, I don't remember him breaking with this scheme. As I was saying, I didn't like this actor, I always saw him a bit overacted and that bothered me a little. Everything changed when I saw The Nutty Professor, and maybe because I saw a change in his physical appearance, to the point of thinking that the obese man was played by another actor. Turns out not to be the case, it was surprising to discover that Eddie Murphy played not only the obese and huge nutty professor (Sherman Klump), but the rest of the family, such as the grandmother, mother, brother and father. Wow, admirable, it was hard work for this actor.

The plot focuses on Professor Sherman Klump, a shy man who considers himself unlucky in love because of his physical appearance and invents a formula based on the reconstruction of DNA to lose weight, only that this formula has not been perfected and the effect lasts very little, just this ingredient that makes us all laugh. When Professor Klump loses weight, is when you can see Eddie Murphy himself, there is a drastic physical change, but also of personality. In fact, he comes across as another person, Body Love.

I think the idea was for Klump to be the same but slimmer, however, he is not, Body is funny, outgoing to the point of being a bit obnoxious with his arrogant personality, the complete opposite of the shy and good-natured Professor Sherman klump. The success of the first film led to the filming of a sequel, almost as funny or even funnier than the first.

What did I like about professor klump. That it made me laugh from beginning to end, there is a bit of black humor and double entendre that is impossible to ignore. One of the scenes that made me laugh a lot was when the effect of the formula was about to end and Body Love began to deform, his arms and legs grew and his voice changed, he would become Professor Klump again and in front of a large crowd of people. People looked at him in surprise, as no one imagined that it was a potion that turned Sherman into someone else.

In the end, despite the theme of the comedy, the message it conveys is that there is no formula that can improve our lives, that we must accept ourselves as we are and that special person loves us without having to change anything, unless it is a bad habit that can harm us in life.

This is another movie with which it is impossible not to laugh, the protagonist is none other than the great comedian Jim Carrey. I already told you about him in another edition and this time he takes the award with "Liar, Liar".
