Nutty Professor II: The Klumps

"Nutty II is often very funny and never less than amazing, when you consider the work and imagination that went into Murphy's creation of the Klump family..."

"The broad humour at times derails Mr. Murphy's performances, but the movie provides a vehicle for him to display his reach."

"Technically, the film is highly accomplished, supporting the theory that the sophistication of a film's humour is in inverse proportion to the brilliance of its special effects."

"Stand-up comedian Larry Miller is so good as Sherman's dean that he steals scenes from Murphy."

"Be warned that however unbelievable the plot sounds, it plays even more badly on-screen."

"Too often, the Klumps just ramble and rant, much of their arguing getting lost in frustrating asides and overlapping dialogue."

"(It) plays more like a few TV-comedy sketches incoherently strung together than a real movie."

"While Eddie Murphy remains a crackerjack polymorph, his overloud comedy lacks the heart that made the 1996 film so endearing."

"It's perfectly decent Hollywood entertainment, well-made, well-paced, and well-acted but there just aren't enough good laughs."

"Nutty Professor II: The Klumps is a waste of a brilliant actor, and yet another step in the desecration of what used to be a popular art form."
