Can't watch the Nutty Professor remake because all the guy has to do is STOP EATING! In case anyone is unaware of the story, The Nutty Professor is both an original and a remake, starring Jerry Lewis and Eddie Murphy respectfully. It's basically about a professor who takes a potion to make himself more attractive to get a woman. The difference is that in the Jerry Lewis version, it's a nerdy unpopular professor who changes himself into a James Dean type guy so he's cooler. The remake? It's a fat guy who takes a potion to become skinny. Okay, the original actually has a story I can respect. It's insanely difficult to just change your personality. If you're introverted, it's a lot of work to become outgoing and to an extent almost impossible. Especially to the extreme shown in the movie. The remake? Dude, just put down the fork. You don't need a potion to get anyone to like you. Just eat less. Stop stuffing your face and your body will do all the magic for you automatically.  The worst part is that at the end, the professor gives a speech after he's found out about accepting himself for who he is. It's sort of endearing when the nerd does it because nothing is wrong with being a nerd. When the fat guy gives a speech about loving himself despite his eating himself to an early grave? Yeah, pass me the remote.
