5.0 out of 5 stars What a ride!, 16 Sep 2003
By Kurt A. Johnson (Marseilles, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: The Nutty Professor [DVD] [1963] (DVD)
Professor Julius Kelp (played by Jerry Lewis) is a brilliant, if nerdy, chemistry professor at a small college. Tired of being mistreated by larger men and disregarded by beautiful women, he decides that he can use his knowledge of chemistry to improve himself. His experiment goes awry when an experimental formula turns this meek and mild dweeb into a bold, abusive and startlingly handsome lounge lizard--Buddy Love. When the formula shows an alarming tendency to destabilize at awkward moments, Kelp must try to keep his split personalities separate, as the object of his dreams, the delectable Stella Purdy (Stella Stevens), seems within his grasp. However, Miss Purdy's experience with the vain Buddy convinces her that he may not be her dream man after all, and that a better man might be a gentle chemistry professor!

This is one of my favorite movies. Yes, there's no serious social commentary here, and the comedy is rather low, but what a ride! This movie is clean, and can be watched by the whole family (which I appreciate). The humor is quite quirky, which makes this movie fun to watch over and over again. This is another movie that I recommend for all families.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious Jeykll & Hyde comedy, 19 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Nutty Professor [DVD] [1963] (DVD)
1963’s comedy The Nutty Professor knocks its recent remake for six with a ‘career best’ performance from the world’s top box-office screen comic of the 1950s and 1960s, Jerry Lewis.
Lewis plays a nerdy chemistry professor who accidentally concocts a potion which magically transforms him into a smooth talking ladies man (Buddy Love) who starts to romance a beautiful student, played by Stella Stevens. The dual life of goofy accident-prone professor by day and smooth handsome lothario by night works a treat until the concoction begins to wear off at the most embarrassing times.
Lewis side-splitting portrayal of both timid professor and suave Ladies-man make this movie a must see for all the family.

3.0 out of 5 stars Jerry Lewis Almost Under Control, 22 Mar 2004
By Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Nutty Professor [DVD] [1963] (DVD)
THE NUTTY PROFESSOR is about an eccentric professor who discovers a liquid concoction which can transform him into a suave character in the style and manner of Dean Martin. For a Jerry Lewis film the antics are somewhat tame. Lewis plays the professor and Stella Stevens is his adoring student. The supporting cast includes Del Moore, Kathleen Freeman and Howard Morris.

The movie is saved by the acting and outstanding good looks of Miss Stevens. The Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde theme makes a decent story and the film also benefits from Jerry Lewis behaving as if he is almost under control.
