Trivia:

The movie showing in the theater room where Sherman runs into Buddy is the 1962 movie "Cape Fear".

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Sherman looks at his reflection in a glass window on a door and Buddy Love's face appears then disappears, the reflection is obviously a CGI because you cannot see through it.

Quotes:

Anna: [Answering door] Oh my goodness! Is there a fire?
Fireman Stripper: Yes ma'am. I'm afraid there is.
Anna: I don't smell no smoke.
[sniffs]
Fireman Stripper: [Walks in and beings playing music from stereo] There's a fire in my pants, and it's getting muy caliente!
[begins stripping]
Party Guest, Party Guest, Bridesmaid, Denise: Ooh!
[laugh and clap]

Disgusting and unfunny

There is only one word that can be used to describe Nutty Professor 2, disgusting. This movie was filthy, every joke in it was about fat, flatulence or sex. And on top of that the jokes were not funny, they were just gross. Do I really want to hear about how long it takes for a 90 year old man to get an erection? NO!

I like Eddie Murphy, and this movie shows off that he definatly has talent. The scenes where he plays just about everyone are very believable, you'll even forget that he's playing them all at times (except for the similar voices). Unfortunatly the jokes weren't any good so his talent in playing multiple charactors didn't really matter.

Despite Eddie Murphy's fine acting skills, I really disliked this movie. I thought the humor was crude, rude and even insulting at times. The whole thing was just one sickining toilet joke after another. A word of warning to parents who want to control what their children watch, this movie should be rated R. There is no doubt in my mind that the only reason it wasn't rated R was because of Eddie Murphy's name on it. There isn't much swearing or anything like that but the humor is very inappropriate for younger children. It got so racy at times that even I was embarresed.

So unless you're extremely immature and feel like spending an hour and a half hearing about the details of extremely old people having sex, than avoid this movie at all costs. I give Nutty Professor 2, 3 stars out of 10 because I thought it was better than What Lies Beneath which I gave 2 stars.
