His body was disproportionate. His family was dysfunctional. And his love life was disastrous. Having tried everything--diets, exercise and weight loss experts--in an unsuccessful attempt to shed some of his 400 pounds, Sherman Klump invents a revolutionary fat gene formula. Testing it on himself, he discovers he's no longer the man he used to be; in fact, he's only half the man he used to be. With one swig, the gentle, painfully shy academic is transformed into the swaggering Casanova, Buddy Love--an irresistible ladies' man who can talk his way out of any predicament. This new personality gives Sherman the confidence to pursue the chemistry department's beautiful new professor, Carla Purty. Indeed everything, to Sherman's utter amazement, is beyond his most perfect dreams--until he discovers that his long-lasting creation is actually an unstable substance that can wear off at any time....

Essential rewatchilla aloin pohtia omaa mielenterveyttäni, sillä olen antanut tälle joskus kaksi ja puoli tähteä. Nyt minua oikeastaan hävettää hieman.

I used to like Eddie Murphy, like twenty-some-odd years ago. When he decided to turn his career into a Rated G kiddie movie parade he completely lost me. His best stuff is before he cleaned his act up. This is just annoying and not in the least bit funny. The original here is dated, yes, but it's Jerry Lewis doing some of his finest work! You can't top that!"

Sherman Klump: Daddy, all I'm saying is that scientific breakthroughs are occurring all the time.
Ernie Klump: The only thing that's 'bout to break through is your ass 'bout to break through the seat of your pants. "

This movie was okay, it had some funny bits. Eddie Murphy is really funny, it's a shame he doesn't make any really funny movies. Why can't anyone take what he did on SNL and put it into a movie?
