There's bold work here from Murphy on grand scale of thespian commitment, yet the feature's sense of humor is more dreary than playful, killing the potential of the premise with a constant display of bad taste.

Murphy turns the dual roles of a meek academician and his smarmy alter ego, Buddy Love, into an excoriating exercise in self-disclosure.

The flick is sketch comedy spun out to feature length.

the beginning of the end for Eddie Murphy

It spends too much time trying to find laughter and not enough time speaking out against fat shaming and our weight-obsessed culture.

All in all, a pretty thin comedy.

Murphy's most assured work in some time.

A dumb, offensive movie--a good one to skip.

Eddie Murphy is funny again. Sadly, he lacks the guts to follow through on the cathartic self-satire that gives the film its distinction.

This is good, seamless comedy.

[Murphy] is able to invest his Professor Klump with an endearing dignity, give his lounge lizard alter ego, Buddy Love, an alligator's bite and then go on from there to play Klump's grandma. Also his mother, father and brother.

This is a chance to see Murphy doing what he does best, and for that alone it's worth seeing.
