Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
[Jerry] Lewis constructed one of his sturdiest scripts in The Nutty Professor, and he wasted scarcely a minute of it.

Classic Jerry Lewis
Henderson Home News (Henderson, NV)
...Drenched in vibrant color, this classic also provided Lewis with the most memorable female lead of his career, Stella Stevens...
USA Today
Rating: 4/4 --
Demonstrates that Jerry Lewis is the absolute master of screen space: There's not a single indifferent shot in the film.

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
It's a brilliant job of direction, but the film couldn't have worked without Lewis' performance in both roles.

Combustible Celluloid
Rating: D --
Silly, manic, juvenile, square, unfunny in an offensive way and serving as an egomaniacal testament to Mr. Lewis.

Contains some of Lewis's most outré directorial flourishes.

Product Description:
Nerd. Milquetoast. Klutz. These are just three of the many undesirable words that can be used to describe Professor Julius Kelp. But all that changes when the chemistry expert invents a potion that transforms him into a suave, sexy chick magnet, whom Julius aptly names Buddy Love. Unfortunately, there's one side effect: Buddy can't control when he'll change back into Julius, an event that always happens at inopportune times. How will Julius/Buddy resolve his Jekyll-and-Hyde dilemma' This film cemented Jerry Lewis's reputation as a comic genius; he co-wrote and co-produced the film while also turning in a fabulous performance. This film served as the basis for Eddie Murphy's later Nutty Professor films.
