Plots(1)
Unable to put up with ridicule any longer, Kelp creates a potion that transforms him into his alter ego, Buddy Love, who is slick, cool and a hit with the ladies. The only problem with this potion is it doesn't last very long, and wears off at the most inopportune moments. (official distributor synopsis)

Jerry Lewis definitely won't appeal to everyone, and in this case, he didn't appeal to me either. I like the classic contrast, but I don't like that he had to take it to such absurdities, like that crazy face of his professor. Perhaps it could have been done a bit more sparingly. The finale would still have resonated quite powerfully.
