This Imagine Entertainment comedy is based on the novel Jekyll and Hyde. Eddie Murphy plays several hilarious roles as Sherman Klump and his family.
The Plot.
Dr Sherman Klump is a genetics professor at university. He is kind, cheerful and 400- pounds! He loves his chocolate! He's working on a project to get a $1 million grant for the science department in school.
When the beautiful Carla Purty joins the university, Sherman decides to ask her out on a date. She accepts and they go to the 'Scream' club. At the club there is a stand-up comic who can't resist embarrassing them. He starts telling fat jokes and Sherman tries to laugh along even though he is hurting inside. He has to lose weight in order to win Carlas heart.
After the date, he goes to the science lab where he mixes a special fat- reducing serum. He takes one sip and instantly becomes 'Buddy Love'. He's a fast talking, pumped up, love machine.
Carla falls for him and starts to forget about Sherman. On a date to scream again, this time with Buddy, they happen to see Reggie on the stage again. It's payback time and Buddy has the last laugh. The potion begins to wear off and Buddy has to run out beacuse he's turning fat again. He tells Carla that he has had an allergic reaction to her lipstick.
Buddy decides to 'up' the dosidge in order to get rid of Sherman forever. He cant take it all at once though, so he has to take it in two seperate lots.
On another date with Carla, this time at a hotel, Buddy meets the man who is giving the grant to the school. He has to explain about the fat-reducing serum. In doing this, he takes over Shermans position at the uni. This is when he takes the first lot of serum. He's halfway to becoming a new man.
Carla goes off to the bathroom and in there are three girls talking about Buddy and how he was chatting them up. She comes out, slaps Buddy, then leaves.
The next day, Carla goes round to Shermans. Buddy has now turned back into Sherman by this time. She see's the girls in his room and jumps to conclusions. She thinks that Buddy and Sherman share girls. She is right in one way I suppose but then again she doesnt know they are the same person.
Sounds confusing doesnt it? Well if you watch the film you will understand better!
