Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
And the movie succeeds in two different ways: It's sweet and good-hearted, and then again it's raucous slapstick and bathroom humor. I liked both parts.

Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Eddie Murphy is funny again. Sadly, he lacks the guts to follow through on the cathartic self-satire that gives the film its distinction.
70
Chicago Reader - Jonathan Rosenbaum
Without ever posing a serious challenge to the original, the new Nutty Professor is much more respectful of its source and funnier than I'd anticipated.

Washington Post - Unnamed
This is good, seamless comedy, even if it's not terribly sophisticated.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The Nutty Professor aims for guffaws at the lowest level -- anyone with a double-digit IQ will get every joke. Whether you laugh at them or not is often more of a matter of taste than a question of having a sense of humor.
