Synopsis

Professor Julius Kelp is a nerdy, scruffy, buck-toothed, accident-prone, socially awkward university professor whose experiments in the classroom laboratory are unsuccessful and highly destructive. When a football-playing bully embarrasses and attacks him, Kelp decides to "beef up" by joining a local gym. Kelp's lack of physical strength prompts him to invent a serum that turns him into the handsome, suave, charming, and cheeky girl-chasing hipster, Buddy Love.

Critics' reviews

"Of all Jerry Lewis’s films,' The Nutty Professor' may be the closest to achieving an unfussy plea for pathos (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Eric Henderson: Slant
