Synopsis
The hilarity begins when professor Sherman Klump finds romance with fellow DNA specialist, Denise Gaines, and discovers a brilliant formula that reverses aging. But Sherman's thin and obnoxious alter ego, Buddy Love, wants out...and a big piece of the action. And when Buddy gets loose, things get seriously nutty.

Chicago Sun-Times
Eight different characters, all played by Murphy, all convincing, each with its own personality. This is not just a stunt. It is some kind of brilliance. - 60
Salon
This is a parlor trick, but it's a hell of a good one. - 58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Murphy is remarkably convincing -- even endearing -- as each of the characters. - 50
New York Daily News
It's just like Paul McCartney's first solo album after the Beatles broke up; he played all the instruments himself -- because he could. - 30
Austin Chronicle
Sporadically funny, the film seems weighted down, literally, with bulging, bulbous Murphys flatulating endlessly. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
An amazing technical accomplishment that never becomes a coherent movie. - 25
Portland Oregonian
An annoying, unclever, unlikable movie. - 20
Chicago Reader
Wastes most of its 110 minutes making impotent jokes about male sexual behavior and the repugnance of old women.
