Stella is drawn to Buddy but, unfortunately, the potion's formula is unstable and Buddy keeps slipping back into Julius at the most embarrassing moments.

A fun film... but I somehow remember it being better. Jerry Lewis used to be a favorite of mine but I guess my taste in comedy must have matured since then. Or maybe I haven't found the right film... though I do think this is one of his bigger hits.

I was disappointed with this movie when I first watched. That was about ten years ago. I thought it may have been because of wrong expectations. So I thought I'd give it another chance in this marathon. This movie is boring, filled with bland characters. I just read that Eddie Murphy only did this movie to be free of his contract with Paramount. And it feels like it. He is obviously not into this movie.

[Rerun Marathon] Spaced, a review by Tom

8/10

The end was hilarious. Especially the Chewbacca yawn of Mike
