Reviews
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
t_atzmueller During the 1980's we all knew, if you saw an item twisted into a knot on a movie-poster, the film would invariably fall into the slapstick category that started with „Airplane". In this case we are greeted by a twisted syringe."Jeckyll and Hyde … Together Again" falls in the same vein as "Airplane", "Hot Shots" or "Top Secret" and even though it does not reach those 'high' standards, the jokes are coming hard and fast and relentless, punching above and below the belt, not leaving the audience much time to find many flaws.Bess Armstrong and Krista Errickson are both cute as a button, Tim Thomerson is reliable as ever, it's a joy to watch Michael McGuire chew his scenes and do look out for 'guest-appearances' by Liz Sheridan, Lin Shaye as sex-starved nurse and George Chakiris, playing (as he often does) himself.But the honourable Oscar ™ (carved out of chewing gum and jelly beans) must go to Mark Blankfield, one of the shamefully neglected comedians of his time. His hyper-nervous Daniel Jeckyll-persona makes one want to reach for the remote, playing his scenes back in slow-motion, ever in danger adopting the characters quirks and ticks. He's only upstaged by Blankfield as Mr. Hyde who, had the movie been better promoted and more successful, could have ended a cinematic cult-figure. Few comedians have gone as over the top as Blankfield and why we haven't seen more of him on the big-screen will probably remain one of Hollywood's eternal secrets.Granted, Jerry Belson, though a veteran of light comedy himself, is no Jim Abrahams or David Zucker. The production has the air of television about it, never as easy or elegant as above mentioned slapstick-classics but compensates with pure self-confidence.If you're a fan of the "Airplane"-genre of slapstick, I recommend this blindly and if you've grown up with the newer generation ala "Epic Movie", I recommend this because it comes from a time where slapstick still meant quality and hard work. They just don't make them like they used to … 9 points out of 10 points - slapstick-points, that is.
fergusrl2007 In the first transformation scene, what is the music? I've heard it was "The Greeks Don't Get No Freeks". Is that right? I really liked that sound. I also liked the "Hyde's Got Nothing to Hide" in the final scenes. Truly a doper movie, but with many laughs and puns, sight gags, and slapstick. Madam Woo-Woo's place was reminiscent of some places I have visited myself. Ivy Venus has appeared in some other stuff that is truly amazing. She looks much different in the movie we're talking about, but her maturity didn't hurt her a bit. Mark Blankfield reminds one of Gene Wilder in some ways. Bess Armstrong was beautiful and maintained her beauty for a long time.
udar55 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.
mot1mot 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.
