Expected more

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

I remember "Fridays": Marc and Melanie Chartoff, Mike Richardson, a slew of funny folks coming on after midnight to rock the house! Way funnier than Sat Night Live! Marc was a pharmacist who constantly took just ANY drug within reach and was so spastic and funny. This movie has been a favorite of mine since it came out, and I got a copy on DVD recently! The last time I saw Marc was on an episode of NYPD Blue, he was a crazy homeless guy who built some metal sculpture on public property.I loved seeing Cassandra Pederson (Elvira, Mistress of the Dark!) as the hot Nurse...loved her funny movie too! (favorite supporting actor..."Gonk" LOL!) Saw her on Counting Cars recently.Tim is a classic actor, he does everything and does it well!Keep a copy of this classic, like Bladerunner it will grow over time in status...and we are all soo cool 'cause we knew the Comic Greatness contained in this movie way back when! *Baaaabe!*

Dr Daniel Jekyll researches into drugs that would help mankind avoid surgery. He discovers a white powder that unleashes the animal in every man, and in his case turning him from a shy and timid doctor into a wild sex crazed party animal. To the delight and dismay of both his fiancée and stripper girlfriend, whom he met in Hyde mode....Remember the Mel Brooks spoofs from the nineties? Robin Hood Men In Tights, and Dracula: Dead and Loving it to be precise. And remember the Leslie Nielsen spoofs that were not Naked Gun Films?This has the same quality as them, it tries to be funny, and there are a couple of really good gags in the movie, but you have to wade through and abhorrent mess to get to the gems.The cast are fine, and do well with the material, you when you watch this, you realise why it's never had a recognition like many films from the era.And it literally has the corpse of Louis Stevenson spinning in his grave at the end.A knowing wink? Or just submission into knowing that the film isn't that good.

This was the funniest movie in the world when I was 8 years old. Now, not so much. Dr. Jekyll (Mark Blankfield) inadvertently snorts a powder he was mixing and becomes the disco-bopping, sex crazed Mr. Hyde. That is really all there is to this remixing of the Stevenson novel and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. Director Jerry Belson throws out gags every 30 seconds and I'd say one out of three work. Blankfield truly has the energy for the part, that is for sure. I wonder why he was never a bigger comedy star? Look for small roles by George Wendt, Cassandra Peterson, Lin Shaye, and Art La Fleur. Seeing it some 25 years later, the best thing about it is the performance by one of my now favorites Tim Thomerson as a smug plastic surgeon. He is hilarious.

A mix of 70's drug humor along with parody of medicine and classic story line. As I've often said about this flick - if you don't get it - you're way lame..... Classic lines such as (parapharsed) "I've got this erection and it won't go away no matter how many times I do it. You're a nurse, what can you give me for it?" Nurse replies "all I have is 5 dollars and my wedding ring..." Great sound track.The classic "Hyde's got nothing to hide". Stays surprisingly close to the original plot - not that the original stays in the way of a joke..... Haven't met anyone with an IQ over 115 that doesn't find it hysterical.
