The Nutty Professor [1996]

Get ready to exercise your funny bone as Eddie Murphy, playing no less than seven roles, gives the performances of his career in this uproarious, Jekyll-and-Hyde comedy from imagine Entertainment. Murphy stars as shy Dr. Sherman, a kind, brilliant, calorifically challenged genetics professor. When beautiful Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett) joins the university faculty, Sherman grows desperate to whittle his 400-pound frame down to size to win her heart. So, with one swig of his experimental fat-reducing serum, Sherman becomes "Buddy Love", a fast-talking, pumped-up, plumped-down Don Juan. But both the potion and Buddy prove to be uncontrollable, and Sherman discovers he has created a monster! Can Sherman stop his buff alter ego before it's too late? or will Buddy have the last laugh? Boasting incredible special effects, a super soundtrack and co-starring James Coburn, Larry Miller, Dave Chappelle and John Ales, this hilarious hit is worth it's weight in fun!
