Eddie Murphy stars as Professor Sherman Klump, a hugely obese scientist who falls for the lovely Professor Carla Purty (Jada Pinkett Smith). Desperate for her affections, Klump invents a DNA-altering drug that temporarily transforms him into the slender, testosterone-overloaded jerk, Buddy Love. Soon, both egos are competing for dominance and Carla's attention. Dave Chappelle and James Coburn co-star. Murphy also plays the entire Klump family. (Showtime)
