Eddie Murphy proves that he can always give multiple roles to films and TV show here with this remake of the 1963 script. Difference, this time it is with a black cast and instead of being a loser and ugly, Dr. Sherman Klump is a guy who wants to be thin and liked. He does this, and becomes Buddy Love. Filled with hilarity, but also some heart (and a message) with the point that it doesn't matter how much you weigh. What matters is if you believe in yourself. One of Eddie's best and of the year 1996. A+
