Summary: Nutty Movie
Review: This movie is funny is funny but, ha ha, kind of, well...different. I would not go as far to say it is his best movie. His 1951 movie At War With The Army was better, and even though Jerry Lewis plays a great part in the Nutty Professor, the movie itself is not as good. Jerry Lewis' all time best movie was The Disorderly Orderly and I would recommend that highly over the Nutty P.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting film
Review: This movie, generally regarded as Lewis's best, is actually more interesting than funny (although there are some hiliarious scenes). What makes this updated version of Jekyll and Hyde so intriguing is the difference between Lewis's sweet-natured, rabbit-toothed, bespectacled, funny-voiced Professor Kelp nerd and the arrogant, self-absorbed, utterly confident Buddy Love. They literally _are_ two different people. Although some have claimed Buddy Love is supposed to be based on Dean Martin, it appears to be more true than the character is based on Jerry Lewis. (Incidentally, the professor on _The Simpsons_ is based on Lewis's Professor Kelp. Including the voice.)

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: THE NUTTIEST PROFESSOR
Review: Whether or not Jerry Lewis' "Buddy Love" is based on Dean Martin is so irrelevent...Simply speaking, this is probably one of the top 10 comedies of ALL TIME. From the opening credits backed by Les Brown's jazzy score to the very end when 'Kelp' trips and crashes into the camera and nearly falls right into our living rooms, this is one fantastic, funny (and sometimes poignant) film. Everyone, young or old, owes it to him/herself to watch this comedy masterpiece. And I defy ANYONE to not burst out in hysterics during the scene when Kelp is in the gym and this guy hands the barbells over to him...then watch the very next scene carefully while he's in bed sleeping. Other standout scenes include Buddy Lester as a bartender trying to make an Alaska Polar Bear Heater, The scene in Dr. Warfield's office just after the explosion during the opening credits, and his dance routine at the prom...Perfect timing, directing, and a stellar supporting cast featuring Stella Stevens, Del Moore and Kathleen Freeman make this a movie for all-time and I reccomend it to everyone.

Summary: Jerry's best - Excellent transfer
Review: You have all seen the movie so I will not comment on that. But I think the video of the DVD version is excellent. Detail is excellent for the year this movie was made on my widescreen TV. Unless you have seen this in the theater, you probably have never seen this in widescreen. I can recommend highly.
