And you can wait for about the first 15 minutes of this attempted gender bending of Robert Louis Stevenson s classic tale viewers might briefly Hope this will be one of those campy movies that s so bad it s actually Good. A but that Hope is soon dashed As the film s True colors become All too apparent. Simply put it s a Boring absurd snooze fast that shows conclusively Why scan Young s career has irreversibly dropped into the septic tank. Director David Price and a gang of four Hack writers slather the film in to sitcom sensibilities which is Only fitting since its nominal Star is Tim Daly of the mildly successful television sitcom wings. Daly is Richard jacks a chemist for a Large perfume company who seems to have a pretty Good life. He has a i ugh airy loft a comfortable Job and a Beautiful Girlfriend named Sarah Lysette Anthon who is madly in love with him. But jacks is unhappy with his meaningless station in life and Longs to be a True scientist making breakthroughs that Benefit All Humankind. Jacks gets news that a wealthy great Uncle has died and attends the Reading of the will. All the other family Mem Bers get yachts houses and Money but his bequest consists solely of his great great Grandfather s scientific note books which have been tucked away in an attic trunk for generations. Upon closer examination jacks Dis covers that his forebear was actually the one and Only or. Henry Jekyll and his notebooks contain the details of his notorious experiments with the dark Side of human nature. Jacks sets out to recreate the experiments but after a. Long night of research culminating in the Downing of a homemade concoction nothing happens. Later that morning however during a Job interview at a Classy restaurant jacks suddenly sprouts breasts his manhood disappears and his dark Side manifests itself As a Beautiful woman Youngho adopts the Persona Helen Hyde.

She starts out by driving Sarah away then moves on to seducing the company s chief chemist Harvey Fierstein and but foolish president Stephen Tobolowsky while moving up the corporate lad Der. Jacks must find a Way to reverse the process before Helen s increasingly dominant Persona totally consumes him. " this is ostensibly a comedy but there vary a chuckle to be found not one witty line not one inventive moment of slapstick unless you think Daly mincing about in a Black Teddy and stockings is funny. It s almost pain Ful to watch him repeatedly being forced to flail about in makeup fancy dresses and frilly lingerie whenever Helen reverts Back to Richard. Young who has More or less Black balled herself in Hollywood with her reportedly temperamental ways Al though her amateurish acting talents have surely contributed to her ski sleepwalk through her part which does t require her to do much More than Slink around in a variety of reveal ing outfits a the Only person who escapes without undue embarrassment is Jeremy Pivon As jacks colleague Pete Walker. He Only has a handful of scenes but he makes the most of them even Mari aging to wring some laughs out of being unwittingly doused with sul uric acid when Helen replaces his Cologne. Near the end of the film,.when Helen once again reverts to jacks in front of a Black tie crowd gathered for the unveiling of the company s latest fragrance comedian Robert Wuhl has a Cameo in which he says apropos of nothing this sure beats the Bleep out of Siegfried and Roy.
