Sixty dollars and a wedding ring....
12 January 2014
Warning: Spoilers
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.
