Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde is not a totally bad film. There are 2 saving graces to this film. Jeremy Piven and Harvey Fierstein, who play Pete and Yves, Richard Jack's (Tim Daly) colleagues. Jacks works at a company that creates perfumes. He recently inherits a formula that turns out to be the famous formula of Dr. Jekyll. Deciding to give the formula a try, Jacks tries it and it works...to a degree. He ends up turning into a woman. Calling herself Helen Hyde (Sean Young), she tries to destroy his career so she can take over. Soon, the film becomes a literal battle of the sexes.
There are worse films out there, but at least this has some humor to it. It's predictable and full of holes. Young seems wasted in her role.
