This remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis film is about Sherman Klump (Eddie Murphy), an obese chemistry professor, who uses himself as a guinea pig in an experiment to test a potion to eliminate fat. Murphy is great as he takes on roles of four family members–including fat Sherman and svelte alter ego Buddy. The film provides good satire in the Eddie Murphy manner. 1 User Review
