Lewis' uneven take on Jekyll and Hyde has its fun moments, but at times its too sentimental and cloying.

It's a brilliant job of direction, but the film couldn't have worked without Lewis' performance in both roles.

a quite funny romp

Classic Jerry Lewis

Much better than the remake; Jerry Lewis' best movie.
April 03, 2004
Silly, manic, juvenile, square, unfunny in an offensive way and serving as an egomaniacal testament to Mr. Lewis.

Demonstrates that Jerry Lewis is the absolute master of screen space: There's not a single indifferent shot in the film.

Supposedly Lewis' masterpiece. That says a lot about Lewis.

[Jerry] Lewis constructed one of his sturdiest scripts in The Nutty Professor, and he wasted scarcely a minute of it.

Certainly Jerry Lewis at his best.

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.

Contains some of Lewis's most outré directorial flourishes.
