Eddie Murphy is the best in the business when it comes to portraying multiple characters in the same movie. In this sequel to The Nutty Professor, he plays Dr. Sherman Klump (and his entire family, too!) as well as his wicked alter ego, Buddy Love. Janet Jackson is also brilliant as Dr. Klump's fiancee. This is a funny movie from beginning to end, and it's also where Eddie Murphy excels.
