This is hard to watch, hard to finish, and hard to remember.
Too far is a word that this movie capably embodies. Review the number of characters Eddie Murphy plays: Sherman Klump, Buddy Love, Granny Klump, Mama Klump, Papa Klump, Young Papa Klump, Ernie Klump, and Lance Perkinscan. WAW, however needless to worn you that too far can be too wrong sometimes. In this manner, they went so far with the filthy material to an extent that turns the movie into a docudrama about the human body's middle, and its various secretions, or simply one of the most emetic movies ever made!
Mainly the idea is good, "The Fountain of Youth", however the script just wanted to play dirty, with nothing but nauseating sex and endless farts in its mind. It is actually a milestone in the fart comedy (the Hollywood comedy once!). Among the many similar comedies nowadays, this one is a godfather and a record. Makes you think deeply; had decency become so old-fashioned? Or had Hollywood become really bankrupt and incredibly dirty in the same time?
Since the start of the 1970s, movies such as (John Waters)'s used to be described as transgressing, with historically awful scenes, frankly nasty elements, done in mostly independent production. Since the end of the 1990s, mainstream Hollywood comedies seem to be feeding on none other than (Waters)'s inspirations. For instance the sexual humor, that this movie savors excessively, is beyond horrible. Just remember an anal sex between a man and a huge hamster, and an oral sex between 80 year old granny and her grandson's alter ego. So the historically awful scenes, the frankly nasty elements,.. are now being done with big budgets, famous stars, and sold as lovable time, for the PG-13 audience. See how we live an age where the major studios transgress us!
Now I have to talk about the scene in which the hamster excretes, rather explodes with excrements, in the face of many dressy people at the press conference. While being one of the top nightmarish moments I have experienced with movies, not believing till now that it was verily made, I have to admit that it seduces a dark place in some of us, and even satisfies it. Sometimes you hate your world so much; hypocrisy, stupidity, corruption.. whatever the reason why, at that point, you want to do what the hamster did, everyone with their hated persons who deserve such a fate best (a machine gun full of.. you know what!). Therefore, the movie utilizes this desire, and realizes it. And instead of spreading values like indulgence or tolerance, it meets violence with violence.. smelly violence for that matter.
But despite being dirty dream and cool moment for some, it's not a solution inasmuch as a problem. Just ask yourself: why the dream has to be dirty?, why the compensation has to be twisted?, and why the cinematic imagination has to be that disturbing? At any rate, feeding ourselves on filth can't be healthy, and using hamster's excrements for punishing the world - in this movie's fantasy or yours - isn't a right prescription for normal.
Look how many family movies Murphy had to make right after this one: Shrek (2001), Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), Daddy Day Care (2003), The Haunted Mansion (2003), Shrek 2 (2004), and Imagine That (2009). I can't precisely decide; was that a purgation? Or was it a way to woo his raising kids, trying to persuade them that he's a good movie star, or nice person? The thing that I know for sure is that - unfortunately - old habits die hard, because in no time he went, or went back, to make Norbit (2007)!
In brief, I detest (Nutty Professor II: The Klumps). It's poor, unfunny, and too smelly to stand. It has a talent only in bringing up a shockingly ugly thing every minute, to top it by yet another shockingly ugly thing in the next minute; which is not my thing at all. My theory is that you have to be hating the world so much to love this movie altogether. As for me, I'll make every effort to find any atom of indulgence or tolerance inside of me, so I won't hate it.. more!
PS: I loved Hollywood's sneering at this piece of work in Tropic Thunder (2008). Parodying it as "The Fatties: Fart Two" made me feel that lastly I'm not alone in this universe, and that Hollywood does have a conscience, well.. some sort of it anyway!
