Which version? Jerry Lewis or Eddie Murphy? Because Jerry Lewis's version was superior all the way -- funny and decent, with a great moral at the end of accepting people for their heart, not their looks. Eddie Murphy's remake had too much unnecessary stuff in it for my taste.

I hated this one. It was one of the most obnoxious redone movies ever. The only thing worse was part two.

i didn't find it funny and eddie is a little annoying in it. maybe because he plays almost every part in it.

The nutty professor had to be one of the worst movies that i have ever seen but thats okay because they got terrible actors to play the parts but whats not okay is that america is so easily amused that they liked this crap tHEY CALL A MOVIE.

It was really bad and overrated, but not as bad as the sequel which was unwatchable. Unless Eddie Murphy is doing cartoon voices, any movie with his mug in it is doomed to failure.

The only thing worse than crap is over the top crap. Eddie needs to get a grip and get his hands on a good script. He's a naturally funny guy - it's too bad he's going to seed in cheap remakes filled with nothing but obvious humor and mind numbing predictability.

I agree, Goneaway. In fact I always wait for remakes to come to TV. Just not interested enough to spend money on it.
