A surprisingly effective adaptation from the stage play. The performances range from adequate to magnificent (John Glover, in the dual role of James and John Jeckyll, definitely inhabits the high end of that spectrum). The confrontation between the Jeckyll brothers, which works well enough on stage, is much more effective here.
One sour note: I could have lived without seeing Jason Alexander's bare butt, and I could have lived without seeing him in this film. If Nathan Lane wasn't available or didn't want to do it, couldn't they have gotten Mario Cantone, who replaced Lane on stage?
