Starring:

Murphy, and Janet Jackson
Directed by: Peter
Segal
Eddie
Murphy is an American treasure. He's just as funny as ever in
the new Klump movie. You probably know by now Murphy wears
eight tons of make-up and is every Klump- except the gargantuan
preteen-in the two Nutty professors. He does another fantastic
job. One laugh riot after another that will have you reaching,
more than once, for your XFMRS™ ( Extremely Funny Movie Respirator
System™). At one point a projectile of popcorn, from my small
intestine, rocketed into the pompadour hair do of the young gang
member before me. Luckily for me, he was semiconscious due to
the lack of oxygen from laughing so hard he didn't even notice!
Phew!
Story
goes...Two ton sweetie-pie, Professor Sherman Klump (Eddie "
Chocolate Delight, Mmm-Mmm Momma" Murphy) has found true
love in fellow professor Denise Gaines ( Janet "Ultra-Creepy"
Jackson-Doesn't she look like Tim Burton created her for Mars
Attacks , thought she is just too scary for younger viewers,
then decided to go with the comic book Martians? Maybe
it's me...).
Prof. D. loves Shermie for his colossal...mind. As if! I'm not
a fat person hater or anything, but considering he's the size
of a small Japanese vehicle, I doubt he'd do quite that well in
the chick arena. That is unless the girl really was an alien looking
for a nesting pod for her three thousand seedlings.
Bliss
is not long for our lovable blimp. The serene professor has a
deep dark threatening secret lurking deep within his massive helping
of DNA. A trim-lusty-narcissistic- trash- talking- jive- daddy
busting out of his chubby seams. This is Sherman's Buddy Love
(Eddie Murphy) side. Through a series of rude retorts with the
local ladies, Sherman is keen to Buddy's attempted take over of
his mind.
FYI, in the close of the last Professor, alter ego Buddy was put
to rest- in a matter of speaking- within the rotund Sherman. Well,
now he's baaacckkk! And trying to take control in a Dr.
Jeckleklump/ Mr. Hydelove twist. Sherman tries to out wit Buddy
and extract him with a new DNA extractor thigamabobby dohinky
gizmo in his college lab. It works and Buddy is reduced to a blue
mass marked Abbie Normal (no-just kidding). Buddy's DNA strands
are stored in a vile and safely placed on an un-disturb-able shelf.
Clearly marked and under lock and key...Mawhahahhau (<-evil
laugh). Then through the magic of "motion of plot" ,
the already far fetched story rears of into the Twilight Zone.
Buddy escapes from his test tube prison and, births himself
from the puddle of gooby goo on the floor (ala Hell Raiser 1)
with the help of strand of canine hair...
Stupid?
Sure. Funny? Remarkably! Come on let go and laugh. The characters
are worth their weight in comedic gold. The absolute scene stealer
is Murphy's interpretation of older than Methusalah, and meaner
than a junk yard dog, Grandmother Klump. She's seems almost ad-libbed-hystrical
good old nasty talkin' Murphisms. Tee hee. The rest of the funny
Klump family's scenes seem almost pale in comparison.Well, there
is the giant hampster scene...
Murphy
has been taking a critical beating lately. He's too this, he's
too that. I tell you what, he's a funny man who is still funny.
Sure, we are all immune to the time in make-up, and all around
effort it takes one actor to pull off so many roles- so well.
Dance, bear, dance. But, if you leave that cynical side of the
cranium home and just need a quick llogical, funny, detour from
life-The Klumps is your movie!
They've made a very fun official
site - enjoy.
