Key opinion
Nutty Professor II: The Klumps is widely regarded as a polarizing sequel that leans heavily on Eddie Murphy's multi-character performance while struggling to maintain the quality of the original. While some viewers enjoy the expanded family dynamics and technical mastery of the makeup effects, others are put off by the reliance on vulgar humor and a disjointed, chaotic script.
| Production | Rick Baker's makeup artistry stands out as a technical masterpiece that elevates the physical transformation of the various Klump characters. | |
| Acting | Eddie Murphy's expansive performance, covering eight distinct roles, remains the film's primary engine and a display of impressive comedic versatility. | |
| Humor | The reliance on crude, low-brow, and toilet-oriented humor frequently undermines the film’s attempts at a heartwarming message. | |
| Screenplay | Opinions on the script are divided; some critics appreciate the expansion of the Klump family arcs, while others criticize the plot as rushed, incoherent, and overly sentimental. |
