Highly Overrated But Still Good
Lidia Draper
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Asad Almond
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I was looking for a comedy yesterday at the video store,one along the lines of the silliness of Naked Gun. I saw the case for Dr.Jekyll and Ms.Hyde,I laughed looking at the box,and reading the premise.And the premise is an excellent one for a comedy,a lot of the better comedies are about men getting in touch with their female side (Some like it hot,Tootsie,Mrs.Doubtfire). Dr.Jekyll and Ms.Hyde looked like a good one.I popped it in the VCR...The story is about Dr.Richard Jacks,a typical nerdy scientist type,whose life is going okay for him but he wants something more,he spends long nights mixing chemicals together for a prize-winning cerum we are told is some sort of medicine. One day Richard discovers his Great Uncle included him in his will,his Great Uncle had 14 million dollars.While his whole family receives boats,houses,and cash,he receives a box of old science journals from his Great Grandfather,and a signed 1st edition copy of Dr.Jekyll and Mr Hyde.Really Richard if you sold that copy to the right buyer you'd probably have a little more than 14 million.He reads the journals,and discovers that his Great Grandfather was none other than Henry Jekyll.He reads in and finds out his research wasn't far off,Henry just didn't have the tools like computers and such.He decides to try again.He drinks the cerum,and everything goes fine at first,until he morphs into the beautiful Helen Hyde.The movie's premise is great,and the Jekyll and Hyde concept can be very funny (Nutty Professor) but the way they pull it off on screen is awful.Helen Hyde is evil like you'd expect.The only real funny things are the transformation scenes,and they get tiresome.Maybe if Richard had a little more control over his alter-ego Helen it would be more funny.

We all know the story of Jekyll and Hyde.There are several of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movies out there.And this is one of them.Except Mr. is Ms.Tim Daly plays Dr. Richard Jacks who becomes Helen Hyde, played by Sean Young, when he tries out his Great Grandfather's experiment. Helen Hyde is a woman who tries to ruin everybody's life, especially Richard's. Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde from 1995 is actually a bad movie, but it's also pretty interesting.It's not a masterpiece but it's great entertainment. So watch this movie if you want to see a bad movie that is very entertaining.

I'm writing at something of a remove, as I saw this movie a while ago. I watched it because I wanted to see if it was as bad as I'd heard. Well, it lived up to expectations. As well as being ill-conceived, shrill, moronic, humourless, wretched, asinine, irritating and generally amateurish, it was also incredibly misogynistic. I thought (hoped) they didn't make this sort of film any more.Everyone involved should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves (except maybe Sean Young, who clearly has absolutely no shame). I just don't understand how these films get made. Offensive for pretty much every reason you can think of. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Dr Jekyll and Ms. Hyde is a comedy full of out of control laughter.Sean Young is great (in more ways than one) as Helen Hyde. Although it may not prove to be everyones cup of tea I think that it could grow on you.The whole story line is about a doctor who tries out an experiment left by his Great Grandfather, But it ends up turning him into a girl.The laughs start and stop there. I think its worth a 7
