Nerd. Milquetoast. Klutz. These are just three of the many undesirable ... Full Descriptionwords that can be used to describe Professor Julius Kelp. But all that changes when the chemistry expert invents a potion that transforms him into a suave, sexy chick magnet, whom Julius aptly names Buddy Love. Unfortunately, there's one side effect: Buddy can't control when he'll change back into Julius, an event that always happens at inopportune times. How will Julius/Buddy resolve his Jekyll-and-Hyde dilemma? This film cemented Jerry Lewis's reputation as a comic genius; he co-wrote and co-produced the film while also turning in a fabulous performance. This film served as the basis for Eddie Murphy's later Nutty Professor films.

"Well actually, if you would say that a man with an ulcer had a nail in his shoe and a splinter in his finger was then struck by lightning, if you could say that man was not hurt - then yes you would say I'm not hurt." - Professor Julius Kelp
I never had much interest in watching Jerry Lewis movies, the only one I had seen before now is when he played a semi serious role in The King of Comedy, but since this movie was in the AFI top 1"
