Silly, manic, juvenile, square, unfunny in an offensive way and serving as an egomaniacal testament to Mr. Lewis.
July 31, 2003
Supposedly Lewis' masterpiece. That says a lot about Lewis.
January 02, 2005
Certainly Jerry Lewis at his best.
August 22, 2002
Lewis' uneven take on Jekyll and Hyde has its fun moments, but at times its too sentimental and cloying.
October 14, 2004
Contains some of Lewis's most outré directorial flourishes.

Classic Jerry Lewis
June 17, 2014
Demonstrates that Jerry Lewis is the absolute master of screen space: There's not a single indifferent shot in the film.
January 31, 2004
Much better than the remake; Jerry Lewis' best movie.
October 19, 2004
It's a brilliant job of direction, but the film couldn't have worked without Lewis' performance in both roles.
June 09, 2014
[Jerry] Lewis constructed one of his sturdiest scripts in The Nutty Professor, and he wasted scarcely a minute of it.
June 27, 2014
The Nutty Professor was not only a starring vehicle for Lewis, the comedian, it was also co-written and directed by the star and shows, intentionally and deliberately, two drastically different sides of him.

a quite funny romp
