Movie Reviews of The Nutty Professor (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Nutty Professor Critique
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched this movie and many other Jerry Lewis movies as a child and enjoyed the pure humor that was derived from Jerry's comedic brillance. This is truly a hilarious movie. Jerry was at his best as suave Buddy Love and bumbling professor and Stella Stevens was a very good leading lady to help make this movie a truly enjoyable experience.
Summary of The Nutty Professor (Special Edition)
Unable to put up with ridicule any longer, Kelp creates a potion that transforms him into his alter ego, Buddy Love, who is slick, cool and a hit with the ladies. The only problem with this potion is it doesn't last very long, and wears off at the most inopportune moments.Jerry Lewis's 1963 Jekyll and Hyde variation has always been tagged by two popular assumptions: one is that it is his best work as a comic filmmaker, and the other is that Lewis's Mr. Hyde equivalent--the slick, ultra-arrogant, good-looking womanizer Buddy Love--actually lampoons the director's former partner, Dean Martin. Well, The Nutty Professor certainly is Lewis's best film. But all one has to do is watch it to realize the motivation behind Buddy Love is more confessional: he's really much more like Lewis's darker, narcissistic side, while the shlubby scientist (also played by Lewis) from whom Love springs is closer to the star's screen image. You can watch all this psychodrama yourself and have a lot of good laughs at the same time with this unusual film, which still surpasses Eddie Murphy's recent remake--though not necessarily by a wide gap. --Tom Keogh
