NUTTY PROFESSOR II The Klump family (all played by Eddie Murphy) returns to save the day when Sherman Klump discovers a formula that reverses aging, but his thin and devious alter-ego wants a piece of the action.
BOWFINGER A down-and-out Hollywood director (Steve Martin) enlists the help of a diva (Christine Baranski), a wannabe (Heather Graham), an unknowing superstar and his nerdy brother (both played by Eddie Murphy) to make his low-budget film project a reality.
LIFE A conservative bank teller (Martin Lawrence) reluctantly teams up with a con artist (Eddie Murphy) for a bootlegging run that they hope will bring quick cash - but instead lands them in prison.

The Nutty Professor films are a mixed bag. They're both full of crude humor, but underneath all the jokes about flatulence, the first film is actually a sensitive movie about a good and intelligent man who is cursed by genetics to be fat and stay that way and who craves romance. His experiments result in a potion that allows him to either be thin, handsome, and suave - and amoral - or he can be his own sweet self and remain fat. The second movie just abandons most of the sweetness of the first movie in favor of being as crude as is humanly possible.
