🎬 The Nutty Professor 2 (2025)
👉 Eddie Murphy, Jada Pinkett Smith, James Coburn
The laughs get bigger, the science gets wilder, and the chaos gets nuttier than ever. Nearly three decades after the groundbreaking comedy dazzled audiences, The Nutty Professor 2 brings Eddie Murphy back in one of his most iconic roles — and once again, he’s playing more characters than you can count.
Murphy returns as Professor Sherman Klump, the brilliant but bumbling scientist with a heart of gold whose life was forever changed by his miracle weight-loss serum. Having found love with the ever-supportive Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett Smith), Sherman is now older, wiser, and determined to leave Buddy Love — his arrogant, womanizing alter ego — in the past. But science has a way of messing with even the best intentions.
When a new experiment meant to rid him of Buddy’s DNA goes wrong, the results unleash a whole new level of madness. Buddy Love isn’t just back — he’s stronger, slicker, and more determined than ever to take over Sherman’s life for good. This time, Buddy has his sights set on more than women and fast cars; he wants fame, fortune, and control of Sherman’s greatest scientific breakthroughs.
Caught between his duty as a scientist, his devotion as a husband, and the chaos Buddy leaves in his wake, Sherman must rely on his brains, his family, and his quirky clan of Klumps — all hilariously portrayed by Murphy — to stop Buddy before it’s too late. And when an old rival (played by James Coburn) resurfaces with plans of his own, Sherman discovers that sometimes the biggest battle isn’t against your enemy, but against the parts of yourself you wish you could hide.
Packed with outrageous transformations, rapid-fire comedy, heartfelt romance, and Murphy’s unmatched ability to jump between characters, The Nutty Professor 2 is both a love letter to the original and a bold new chapter for a new generation. Beneath the slapstick chaos, it’s still a story about acceptance: that true love — and true happiness — only come when you embrace every part of who you are, nutty flaws and all.
