Eddie Murphy stars as both Sherman Klump and the whole
Klump clan, in this sequel to the 1996 film. This time Sherman has a new potion and new
love interest (Janet Jackson). With Larry Miller, John Ales, Anna Maria Horsford, Melinda
McGraw, Jamal Mixon and Gabriel Williams. [1:50]
SEX/NUDITY 7 - All of this is played mainly for laughs and some of the
"women" are actually played by a man (Eddie Murphy): A lot of sexual innuendo,
including lots of references to penis size and erections, and references to ménage à
trois and homosexuality. We see a woman with lots of cleavage and when a man stares at
her, he develops an erection we can see through his pants as it grows to cartoonish
proportions. A woman rubs her own clothed breasts in excitement, and a woman with exposed
cleavage has her shirt ripped open until her bra shows. A scene of suggestive dancing
includes a man thrusting against the ground. From another room we hear moaning and a bed
squeaking. We briefly see dogs mating in one scene and hamsters mating in another. It is
implied that a man is raped by a giant hamster (see Violence/Gore below). A man strips
down to his pants and suspenders at a party of women, and a woman strips for a man and
french kisses him. A woman runs in a field with her large breasts showing through her
clothes. An old woman dives underwater in a hot tub; she's without her dentures and
fellatio is implied. A woman receives a gift of a teddy with crotch-less panties and holes
over the nipples. We see a nude baby bottom.
VIOLENCE/GORE 5 - Primarily played for laughs: A man is kicked in the face,
a man is "born" out of another man's body, a man holds another's head underwater
(but to help him, not hurt him) and a man is choking and the Heimlich maneuver is
performed. A man's hand is slapped and fluid is drawn from a man (the process is similar
to having blood drawn). During three different scenes a man convulses, screams and falls,
and glass breaks. Some goo on the floor becomes a hand. A man accidentally kills a parrot
(we just hear squawks), and there's a fistfight between two men. A person is thrown into a
garbage can, is kicked into a garbage can, and a person is blown back against a wall. A
man hits another man on the head with a rolled up newspaper. A giant hamster roars and
people stampede out of the room; it's implied that the hamster rapes a man (later the man
has claw marks on his suit and can't sit down). A man tries to shoot the giant hamster,
and the hamster shoots out giant pellets of feces at the man who's blown back several feet
by the force of the impact. A baby punches someone and then urinates on the person's face.
A man passes gas which sets curtains on fire, and there are a couple more scenes where
people pass gas and a man vomits. Reckless driving and a violent storm.
PROFANITY 6 - One F-word derivative and one flipped bird, many obscenities,
scatological references and anatomical references; one racial slur. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Obesity, the academic life, scientific research,
families.
MESSAGE - We don't always like every aspect of our personalities, but must
accept the bad with the good anyway.
