Reviews
The Nutty Professor received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising Jerry Lewis' dual performance as both Professor Kelp and Buddy Love. The New York Times described the film as 'silly but entertaining', highlighting Lewis' comedic talent and the film's engaging storyline. However, other critics found the movie to be predictable and lacking depth, criticizing its reliance on slapstick humor. Variety magazine called it a 'hit-and-miss affair', noting that while Lewis showcased his comedic prowess, the film missed the mark in terms of character development. Despite the mixed reception, The Nutty Professor has garnered a cult following over the years, with audiences appreciating its unique blend of comedy and heart. IMDb rates the movie 6.6/10 and Rotten Tomatoes gives it an 82% approval rating.
