WOW! What a piece of crap this thing is. If ever there has been a sequel gone bad from overacting and a forced script, this is it!

If you want to see the Klump family get into hilarious arguments like the classic "dinner" scenes in the first Nutty Professor, you better head to Blockbuster because it just isn't here. If you want to see incredibly overdone and stupid fart humor, then this movie is for you. I liked the first movie, but this sequel is just plain bad.

I think that sums it up.

It does indeed. I'm not even gonna waste my time with basically repeating Brad's point of view. I've already wasted enough space on this site just to say this much.

I thought the first 30 minutes or so was pretty amusing - all the fat people just sitting around and ripping on each other - other than that - BORING. I never saw the first one either. This one was my Thursday night chore - I never put a movie on screen w/o screening it for quality first. That includes sitting through crap like Thomas & The Magic Railroad after I was shut down for 2 hours that evening b/c of Tornado Warnings. Now THAT's a chore.

Oh I'm sorry. I forgot to mention the only good thing about this movie. The small cameo by Chris Elliot.

Ah yes, Chris Elliot! He should be hidden somewhere in every movie made. It would add excitement in moviegoing just trying to figure out which extra he is as the makeup gets better and better.

Hollywood could make a game of it... like wheres waldo... we could call it "can you see me? if you do, can i get paid?"

Chris elliot is one of the funniest people on the planet, and has two emmys to prove it (writing for davey lettermon).

How come he gets dumb movies like cabin boy?

ive never really liked chris elliot, i saw a few episodes of his tv show which was kinda funny. as for eddie murphy, he does make good movies, i dont think ive seen an eddie murphy movie i didnt like, especially beverly hills cop 1-3. ive never seen nutty prof 1 or 2, just because its not really an eddie murphy movie. all his other movies from golden child to coming to america to bowfinger ive liked though.

Never saw an Eddie Murphy film you didn't like?

I take it you've not endured 'Best Defence' then...?

Ah, yes...Best Defense. Directed by the amazing Willard Huyck...writer of such cinema greats as More American Graffiti, Howard The Duck and to a lesser extent in bad scripts, Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom.

Best Defense starred Dudley Moore, Eddie and Mrs Spielberg: Kate Capshaw. It came out in 1984 on the coattails of 48 Hours and Trading Places and crawled back into its hole (hopefully) to be forgotten by all those involved in this abomination. One IMDB review goes like this...

'No amount of alcohol can render this film bearable. I saw Eddie Murphy on Letterman a few years after this dog was released, talking about why he has to be careful with which scripts he accepts. He said, "A few years back I made a film called Best Defense. And it was bad. [looks into camera] REAL bad!"'

I couldn't agree more.
