- Synopsis:
- Jerry Lewis directed, co-wrote arid stars in this riotously funny movie that set a new standard for screen comedy. Lewis plays Dr. Julius Kelp, a homely and nearsighted chemistry teacher who's ignored by the ladies and ridiculed by his students and fellow professors. All of that changes one day when he concocts a magical potion that can transform him into a sophisticated and handsome Romeo, a confident, self-assured swinger dubbed "Buddy Love". But the Jekyll-and-Hyde routine soon creates double the trouble for the bumbling professor and the girl of his dreams (Stella Stevens), a student who's fallen head-over-heels for the conceited, debonair Buddy.

Dated - The Nutty Professor review by JD
Just being scruffy, goofy, shy and cross-eyed is amusing only for 5 seconds. After 5 minutes it becomes tiring. I could only stand it for 10 minutes. This might have been funny 52 years ago but even then only for some. Directing and playing the main character (always in shot) must be great for an ego-maniac, but he clearly wasn't that critical of himself.
