Nutty Professor II: The Klumps is a 2000 comedy film directed by Peter Segal. It is the sequel to the 1996 film The Nutty Professor and stars Eddie Murphy and Janet Jackson. Like in the first one, Murphy plays not only the inept but brilliant scientist, Sherman Klump but also most of Sherman's family as well. In contrast to the previous film, subplots which are centered around his family occupy a substantial part of the film. Just like the first film, the film's theme song is "Macho Man" by The Village People, which this time is played during the end credits. Sherman Klump is working on a... new miracle formula– this time, the fountain of youth. He is also preparing to marry a fellow scientist and girlfriend, Denise Gaines . Unfortunately, he has started suffering from personality lapses that are threatening to alienate his bride-to-be: against his will, he acts like the obnoxious, hypersexed Buddy Love of the first film. After a particularly unpleasant incident, Sherman goes to his lab to analyze his DNA and locates Buddy Love's DNA in an abnormal gene.
