The Nutty Professor (1996)

Mild-mannered professor Eddie Murphy desperately wants something more out of life, especially after meeting the beautiful Jada Pinkett Smith, so he experiments on himself with a potion he has been developing which turns him into a more charismatic, skinnier, but meaner version of himself. Leaning heavily into the playing multiple roles that was a cute bit in Coming to America, Eddie plays every adult member of the professor’s family. I was unprepared for the number of fart jokes that came out of that group every time they were on screen. That and fat jokes are pretty much what exists for humor in the film. The makeup and special effects in the film remain impressive 25 years later. It’s incredible how natural Murphy looks as a fat man and even how much more attractive he looked as such.
