Watched online, very blurry.
8 songs in the Soundtracks, 3 have performers.
I have NO idea why this is tagged with genre Music.
The funniest moments (that I saw): 1. after Dr. Jekyll inhales his powder, and we see his body transform (lots more hair), we also see gold chains materialize on his chest and a metal cap appear on a tooth as though they grew there like the extra hair; 2. the skeleton in the grave marked Robert Louis Stevenson rolls over at the end of the film, spinning.
This is a real tossup between 5 and 4. I was certainly anxious for it to be finished. I wished the filmmakers never had (finished it).
Basically, this is a valentine to whatever drug you can sniff and get high, have endless sex, temporarily grow extra hair, and not care about your safety. Apparently others find it funny, because the IMDb rating is 6.2 with almost 1k votes.
It didn't hold my attention. The blurry print contributed to that, but the humor is all based on this guy's reaction to the drug he concocted. Just makes me frown.
