Siskel & Ebert: 6-29-96

Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert reviews "Striptease" (While this and "Showgirls" are bad on its own level, both of them are very sexy eye-candy delights and develops cult followings over the years. Let's face it, Demi Moore couldn't be anymore hotter next to Sharon Stone and Gina Gershon (as opposed to Elizabeth Berkley's uh... body!) and they are worth it! Also starring in the film are Burt Reynolds, Robert Patrick, Ving Rhames and Rumer Willis.) ; "Cold Fever"; "The Nutty Professor" (1996) (Eddie Murphy may have been in a slump since "Harlem Nights", but "Boomerang" and "The Distinguished Gentleman" were his best in 1992 in my opinion. Therefore, this is the most hilarious, faithful and memorable remake and does pay respect to the original Jerry Lewis feature! From co-writer and director, Tom Shadyac. Starring: Eddie Murphy in multiple roles, Jada Pinkett Smith, Dave Chapelle and Larry Miller.) ; "A Perfect Candidate" and "Maybe...Maybe Not".

Video Pick of the Week: Siskel's pick is the original comedy classic, "The Nutty Professor" (1963) with Jerry Lewis. (Still hilarious and always will be! Even the French loves it!) And a recap of Today's program.
