Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
When beautiful Carla Purty joins the university faculty, genetic professor Dr. Sherman Klump grows desperate to whittle his 400-pound frame down to size and win her heart. So, with one swig of his experimental fat-reducing serum, Sherman becomes 'Buddy Love', a fast-talking, pumped-up, plumped down Don Juan.
A brilliant but self-conscious scientist drinks a chemical concoction to transform his massive frame into the suave, swaggering Buddy Love. This slapstick transformation creates a hilarious collision between his kind soul and a newfound, dangerous confidence.
