Nutty Professor II: The Klumps is a 2000 American science fiction dark comedy film directed by Peter Segal. It is a sequel to the 1996 film The Nutty Professor. In contrast to the previous film, subplots which are centered on the parents of protagonist Sherman Klump occupy a substantial part of the film. Members of the Klump family, including Sherman's parents, also provide an increased level of comic relief.
