Genres & Description

Action Comedy Romance Sci-Fi

6.7 / 10

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?

Eddie Murphy did a great job too, but I don't think he is as good as what Jerry did here! Watch this movie! It is an epic classic! LOL - @Friday, January 22, 2016 4:52 AM

I think this trailer is brilliant, at the time, no one had any idea that the "monster" would be a handsome hunk and Jerry Lewis is a wonderful actor. - @Sunday, May 24, 2015 7:16 AM

I like to think trailers have got a lot better since. This one doesn't even show him talking. I mean I appreciate not wanting to spoil the picture but Jerry Lewis' voice is the biggest drawcard and here they don't even bother to show him saying even one joke. - @Thursday, October 30, 2014 12:45 PM

@abdulahadteli Jerry Lewis was in the film, "It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World. He's only on for a few seconds. He's the guy who runs over Capt. Culpeper's (Spencer Tracy) hat with his car after Culpeper accidentally throws it out the window. - @Wednesday, August 20, 2014 8:44 AM

In my eyes he's higher than Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. They both kinda went downhill in movies Yes I love them both very funny but Jerry Lewis never failed to impress/entertain me - @Sunday, October 14, 2012 5:57 PM

I thought when he saw his bird of a man's head....I thought it was his father for a long time lmao. Hmmm Jerry does the voice of Jennifer...Now that you said that I can picture Jerry doing that. - @Sunday, October 14, 2012 5:55 PM

I'm under the impression that Jerry does the voice of the bird as well. - @Monday, September 3, 2012 1:52 PM

G Inès Sydow

Could you tell me who is Gracula Jennifer's voice in "The Nutty Professor" and who is/what does the Man in the birdcage mean (during transformation)? I know that he is played by Jimmie Horan but I can't understand why Julius Kelp sees himself in it! I hope that my question will have an answer, I have been searching everywhere (Jerry's dvd special features, books, web...) and I did not find a solution. - @Monday, September 3, 2012 10:36 AM

G Inès Sydow

No, it's not true. Jerry Lewis said he wasn't. - @Monday, September 3, 2012 10:35 AM

Buddy Love was NOT his impression of Dean - @Sunday, June 10, 2012 4:43 PM

Mega12891289

This was made in what might be called Jerry's late middle period. That is, after he split with Dean and was making movies on his own. It's no masterpiece, but has a solid story with some really, really interesting psychological undertones. It was also, easily, the best Jerry-made film in this period. Worth seeing plus Stella Stevens was never more lovely. - @Wednesday, May 16, 2012 11:31 PM

@Sportsdogs1 Unless you've seen "Slapstick (Of Another Kind)". Worst movie I've watched in my entire life. The entertainment value was based soley on the fact that it was beyond terrible. - @Monday, October 31, 2011 9:47 AM

@stallion0308 This was Jerry Lewis' best and most sustained performance. Buddy Love is his impression of Dean Martin - @Friday, September 23, 2011 4:23 PM
