June 19, 2007So hilarious. I hate dirty modern humor. But this movie was funny in a subtle, less crude way.

June 15, 2010well, This film was a rather odd film. I have never seen any work by Jerry Lewis before so I had absolutely no idea what to expect with this film. I liked it. it was an entertaining film, but it was very odd. I don't really give away plot details, but I will say that this film is... read more

July 27, 2011Before there was Eddy Murphy, There was Jerry Lewis, & his version of the Nutty Professor is, well, really Nutty

June 28, 2011Funny, but only unintentionally so. The soundtrack is agonizing to listen to. Boring cinderella story with a twist of morals, singing, and slapstick. In other words, Jerry Lewis.

February 24, 2011An odd take on the Jekyll and Hyde classic story that will have you laughing at times. Keep in mind it is a '60s movie, and it should be quite entertaining.

January 14, 2011If your life is going by too fast, rent this film - you'll think time has come to a stop! Nearly every scene seems to last forever.

Certainly Jerry Lewis at his best.

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
It's a brilliant job of direction, but the film couldn't have worked without Lewis' performance in both roles. Full Review

Eric Henderson, Slant Magazine
Contains some of Lewis's most outré directorial flourishes. Full Review
April 3, 2004
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Silly, manic, juvenile, square, unfunny in an offensive way and serving as an egomaniacal testament to Mr. Lewis. Full Review

Lori Hoffman, Atlantic City Weekly
Much better than the remake; Jerry Lewis' best movie.
July 31, 2003
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Supposedly Lewis' masterpiece. That says a lot about Lewis.
February 19, 2003
Kevin Fiddler, Henderson Home News (Henderson, NV)
Classic Jerry Lewis

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Lewis' uneven take on Jekyll and Hyde has its fun moments, but at times its too sentimental and cloying.
July 29, 2002
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
"probably Lewis' masterpiece"
