If you loved The Nutty Professor, try The Ladies Man

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Ladies Man has roughly 3.4× fewer votes than The Nutty Professor — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What The Ladies Man is

A single breakup sends Herbert spiraling into a houseful of women for gainful employment. One desperate man enters a sorority house of chaos. His sanity never stands a chance here.
