Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

sandemon-38504 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!*

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Robert Louis Stevenson has brought the character of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde years ago in a book. Hollywood brought in on film in the early 1930's. Now there's this schlocky, yet upbeat version of the novel, with a very hip Hyde. Here you have a California surgeon name Dr. Daniel Jekyll (Mark Blankfield) who is contrite, hard-working, yet very uptight. Who works for a guy that harries him a lot, and a daughter who very understanding. Jekyll wants to give up surgery, and start to do research work to tap in on the human animalistic side. He would create this powder which has been worked on many times. Its appearance looks like dope, and when he dozes off, he unwittingly snorts it. The results, he becomes this wild, hip, sex-craving, madman name Hyde. Unlike the one in Stevenson's story, he's more hairy, than hideous. Still crude and rude though. Hyde, goes after a woman name Ivy(Kris Errickson), who Jekyll once helped. It's not a surprise when Hyde return to England where the original Hyde got created at. Both women confronted Jekyll/Hyde, and rather than fight for him.... What am I saying? Watch it for yourself, and you will know the answer for sure. Corny and outrageous, this movie is fun all the way. 3 out of 5 stars

billthebassist It took me a while to find this movie since they don't have it yet on DVD (and my VCR is not worth hooking up again). I guess all the referencing to drug use is too much for some folks. But I found a decent bootleg on Ebay and I must say that anyone who takes this movie too seriously is just retarded. It is a slap stick spoof in the vein of "Airplane." I must say that when I watched it on Showtime or Spotlight growing up in the 80s, I enjoyed the humor a whole lot more then, than I do now. But it's definitely worth watching just to see what they(i.e., movie makers) were able to get away with before the "Just Say No" hypocrites unleashed their propaganda. sing..."We are all on drugs" hahaha It's a silly film and worth the $10 I paid off of Ebay to get it on DVD just don't even think about comparing it to the original - that's just plain stupid. What are you high?

dcsmith-3 Some said that this was a nose candy glorification flick, but short of the original Dr. Hyde's concoction, no drug has yet been developed that can provide THIS effect. If Viagra was the slime mold stage, that white sparkling powder is the Stephen Hawking evolutionary rung (or at least the pharmacist idiot savant branch). This reality show is really about the sacred cows of medicine, seen as was the emperor without clothes. Few of us want to question the health field; both because most of us would not have lived to our current age had we been born before "modern medicine", and because our subconscious hopes that we will continue to live on if we have faith in the helping professions. So the geniuses who produced this movie made jokes out of those Calcutta Bessy's, giving us the sugar that allows us to swallow the modern institution of medicine. The timing was right, and many were able to see the business side of the healing companies behind the curtain of Oz. A decade before, when George C. Scott ranted through the movie The Hospital, my wife and I were sitting in the packed premiere in Oklahoma City. Just as in Jekyll & Hyde's remake, we were almost unable to keep from falling out of our seat, and laughed and howled uncontrollably for the duration. The hundreds of other audience members were deadly silent. They were shocked that doctors, nurses, & the hospital institution were being mocked. It was as if the Pope, Billy Graham, and Gandhi were were sitting in the Animal House, beer stained tee shirts and all, competing to see who could tell the funniest God knock-knock jokes between belches. Had The Hospital been a slapstick comedy rather than a satire, they might have been able to see what was being shown to them. Unfortunately they were like Republicans at a screening of Michael Moore's 9/11. Perhaps smaller golden parachutes would have been given to the corrupt medical corporation leaders, health insurance companies would have had a tougher time denying medical care, and health providers would have been demystified earlier, if George C. Scott had tap danced in a tutu while delivering his terrible truths. But--forget everything I just said. Watch the movie, be consciously made as happy and joyful and full of laughter as the best ever Saturday Night Live skit, and let the subconscious soak in the documentary of the underlying reality. Just don't blame me when "Got to Got to Got to Got to" becomes one of your sayings, or when "Hyde's Got Nothing to Hide" occupies that portion of your brain now paralyzed by "Its a Small World After All". Or when you start calling your local hospital Our Lady of Pain and Suffering instead of Our Lady of Eternal Construction. Even Oklahomans were changing their favorite terrible boss wishbone winner entreaty from "Piss on him and leave him for dead", to "Body in a pit, you in it....." The smell of death...it's gone! Chicken sushi! Mary. MARY. MARYEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
