The Nutty Professor is complete trash! Eddie Murphy is not that funny, don't understand why people thinks he's brilliant. Jada Pinkett Smith is even worse, terrible actress and she is just famous because of her husband. I couldn't find anything fresh about this remake, don't watch this pathetic film. May 24, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteClassic comedyQuote
This is one of the most classic comedy movies ever produced. Many scenes, once viewed, are indelibly inscribed in your memory...especially the 'dinner' scenes in which Eddie Murphy play almost all the various characters. You won;t ever forget seeing this one and you WILL watch it several times...a great one to buy as you will wear it out. November 26, 2007

rating: 1 Quotehey eddie? howzabout making a movie about washed-up black comics who dig transvestite hookers?Quote
an amazingly bad movie. eddie murphy (who was funny in the 80s) manages the near-impossible: he makes jerry lewis seem sophisticated. now dont get me wrong; i love stupid comedy -- when its funny. murphy never convinces an iota here in the role of the HUGE professor klump. there is scads of humor to be mined in the struggles of fat people to fit into the normal world (take my word, i know about THAT) -- just recall oliver hardy's girth getting him stuck in a doorway during his attempt to escape bogeyland -- but murphy is merely contemptuous and nasty. well, contemptuous and nasty in a comedy i can accept, but it better be funny. this movie has a high spot on my list of the 10 worst i have ever seen.

Totally awesome movie with jokes and sight gags galore. Eddie Murphy is one talented man playing all those roles of the Cletus family plus Buddy Love. A little crude yet but alot of laughing......gas!

Definitely pick this one up and pass on the sequel as that one overdoses on the fart jokes. This one uses a multi-joke formula all the way to success. July 8, 2006

rating: 5 QuoteCould be the funniest movie you ever seeQuote
I stopped from viewing this movie for a long time becouse I was told that it was nowhere near as good as the original. Well let me set this straight. Jerry Lewis does a fantastic job in the original and his rendition of Buddy Love was somewhat more dramatic then Eddie Murphy but Eddie has to be the funniest actor alive. Almost from the time the movie started right up 'till near the end I was in tears from laughing so hard. Eddie Murphy is not only funny but he can act as well. I love all of his movies that I've seen so far. And I will take what people tell me about remakes with a very large grain of salt from now on. June 30, 2006
