A remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis classic in which Murphy played not only the lovable, overweight Professor Sherman Klump and his slim, obnoxious alter ego Buddy Love, but also multiple members of the Klump family in a tour-de-force of prosthetic makeup and comedic performance. Rick Baker's Oscar-winning makeup effects and Murphy's genius for characterization made the film a massive hit, earning over $270 million worldwide. The Nutty Professor proved that Murphy was still one of the funniest people alive and launched a successful sequel. VHS comedies from the mid-'90s are peak home video era. Hercules, Hercules!
