➱ STORYLINE:

"The Nutty Professor" follows the story of nerdy and clumsy chemistry professor Julius Kelp who invents a potion that transforms him into the suave and handsome but obnoxious Buddy Love. The film explores the comedic consequences of Kelp's dual identity as he tries to win the affection of his student, Stella Purdy.


➱ STAFF REVIEW:

Jerry Lewis delivers a masterclass in comedic performance in "The Nutty Professor," both as the shy Julius Kelp and the brash Buddy Love. The film’s clever screenplay, also written by Lewis, blends slapstick humor with moments of genuine poignancy. The inventive cinematography and vibrant color palette enhance the whimsical tone of the movie, making it a visual delight. The film’s underlying message about self-worth remains relevant, solidifying its place as a comedy classic that continues to charm audiences.
