Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Console best movie i've ever seen.

The_Void The seventies Hammer Horror film, Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde, took the ridiculous idea of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll accidentally turning himself into a woman and ended up making a brilliant horror film out of it - David Price's film, on the other hand, takes the same idea, pretty much ditches the horror and spins it into a worthless comedy. I really wish I'd watched the Hammer film again instead of wasting my time on this garbage, but unfortunately, it's too late now. Robert Louis Stevenson would probably turn in his grave if he knew what had become of his classic story, and I wouldn't blame him for it. This film mixes gag based comedy very loosely with horror, and Dr Jekyll and Ms Hyde is, basically, just an excuse for having Timothy Daly get himself into all manner of embarrassing situations. At best, it's only ever moderately amusing. Daly plays scientist Richard Jacks; a perfume creator. One day he discovers that his grandfather was Dr Jekyll, and so sets about dabbling in his experiments; however, he soon regrets it when his alter ego, Helen Hyde, is created.The film loosely mixes in themes of the difference between men and women both personally and career-wise into the plot; but these themes are only ever half baked, and feel as though they've been incorporated by accident due to the plot rather than because the film has anything to say. The acting is your typical over the top comedy stuff, with Timothy Daly taking the lead role. In fairness, he approaches his role with relish and is actually quite good, despite his silly voice-overs. Sean Young gets the role of his alter-ego and sleepwalks through the film, while the shining light where the cast is concerned comes from Lysette Anthony's corner. Not because of a great performance; but she is nice to look at. Comedic support from Stephen Tobolowsky, Harvey Fierstein and Jeremy Piven gives the film most of its gags, but most of them aren't funny. The way that the plot moves is largely annoying, and director David Price seems to like focusing on an object, and then cutting to the next scene. The plot is basically a series of situations, which does nothing to draw you into it; and it's not long before the film becomes monotonous. I don't recommend this crap at all, but if you like watching films where Dr Jekyll turns himself into a woman; there's always the Hammer Horror flick.

domino1003 Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde is not a totally bad film. There are 2 saving graces to this film. Jeremy Piven and Harvey Fierstein, who play Pete and Yves, Richard Jack's (Tim Daly) colleagues. Jacks works at a company that creates perfumes. He recently inherits a formula that turns out to be the famous formula of Dr. Jekyll. Deciding to give the formula a try, Jacks tries it and it works...to a degree. He ends up turning into a woman. Calling herself Helen Hyde (Sean Young), she tries to destroy his career so she can take over. Soon, the film becomes a literal battle of the sexes. There are worse films out there, but at least this has some humor to it. It's predictable and full of holes. Young seems wasted in her role.

aesgaard41 There is only about so many ways you can re-do the Robert Louis Stevenson novel, but the man turning into a woman has already been done more successfully with Ralph Bates and Martine Bestwick. Boasting an impressive score and a good cast, this movie tries to cash in on the popularity of "The Nutty Professor" with a sadistic and unfunny script. Tim Daly can do comedy as he has on "Wings," but this is a bit far out of his league. Sean Young tries to pass herself off as attractive (which she isn't), but thankfully we have the incredible Lysette Anthony, the former Angelique of the short-lived new "Dark Shadows." She becomes wonderfully wicked as she confronts Jekyll's female half. Young kills much of the movie, but then much of the script turns a bit too ridiculous.I like the angle that the novel may have been based on a true and factual story, but there's too many sexual references and in-jokes and not enough realism. It would have been much funnier if played straight. It could have been done so much better,but instead it becomes one long Benny Hill sketch except without the jokes.

Stuart-33 A so-so film, that does have a few laffs. Basically about a chap who gets left a spell by his great-grandfather that changes him from women to man. I give this film an 8, but only because it does have the gorgeous Lysette Anthony, and she's worth watching in any film...
