Entertainment Reviews:
...Apt and comic....Combining the riotously funny and the sweetly sentimental....Miller is at his obsequious best....[Pinkett] demonstrates that her range ranks her among the most versatile young performers in movies...
Variety
...[Murphy's] back with exuberance and energy....He's very good. And the movie succeeds in two different ways: It's sweet and good-hearted, and then again it's raucous slapstick and bathroom humor...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Murphy turns the dual roles of a meek academician and his smarmy alter ego, Buddy Love, into an excoriating exercise in self-disclosure.

The flick is sketch comedy spun out to feature length.

Globe and Mail
A more enlightened Academy would have recognized Eddie Murphy’s tour de force, six-character performance as one of the great acting turns of 1996.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/4 --
It spends too much time trying to find laughter and not enough time speaking out against fat shaming and our weight-obsessed culture.

Product Description:
Eddie Murphy stars as a grossly overweight chemistry professor in this update of the classic 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy. Eager to reinvent himself and to ease his loneliness, the professor develops a potion that magically transforms him into a lean, mean, sex machine, capable of seducing any woman in sight, but he loses his niceness along the way. Academy Award Nominations: Best Makeup.
