Just perfect...

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

While there are a few (and very far between) watchable moments in this show, by and large it is the most ghastly, amateurish production I have ever seen in my life. The stunning music is horribly overshadowed by wooden, stilted acting by the principle characters with few notable exceptions, and excruciatingly bad choreography draw the eye precisely where it is not supposed to go.The acting is painful, Hasselhoff unwatchable, though the direction and the choreography are what really doom what could otherwise have been an incredibly powerful show. And this is not mentioning the chronological anachronisms that pop up all over the place, from clothing not appropriate to the period all the way to accents from the wrong part of London! Pick this up if you are new to musical theater and are looking to expand your knowledge of musicals, but for those of you who know what you're looking at when you look at a show, look elsewhere.

When I first found this movie in the 2/$5 bin at my local Wal-Mart I thought it looked cheesy enough to pay 2.50 for... then I saw David Hasslehoff and had to buy it. I fully expected a terrible film that I would struggle through the first 30 minutes of and then shut it off, but at least I could say I tried. In truth I did find the first of it kind of hokey, but that's because the acting is performed in the style of the theatre. Everything is meant to be projected to the back rows. Even with this in mind Hasslehoff's facial expressions as Hyde were a bit cheese at some point, but his overall performance was good. Coleen Sexton's performance was amazing all around as she is not only stunning, but has an amazing voice. In general I found some of the song lyrics in the play came across as rather forced (on account of the writers, not the singers) but the entire experience remains quite enjoyable. I highly recommend the 2.50. :D (or maybe even a bit more)

I agree that David Hasselhoff is not the best choice in the world to play this role. He is not the best singer or actor that the stage has ever scene. However, as Grey Satterfield said, this is a extremely hard role to for any actor and most especially both acting and singing the same part. Even though David is not strong in either, you have got to admire a man who tries, and I believe that David did give it his best effort. And that is admirable. The production is first rate, would have loved to have seen this live. But even for a video they kept it in the traditional theater style. I give it 7/10 stars.

Jekyll & Hyde is probably one of the most amazing musical ever made. Great show based on a classic tale. Extraordinary songs, especially "This Is The Moment" and "Someone Like You". When I found out this musical was actually made for DVD, I rushed out to get a copy. When I saw David Hasselhoff was cast as Jekyll & Hyde, I had my doubts. A Baywatch lifeguard to a Broadway Musical Star??? Anyhow, I set aside my doubts and watch the show, I was soooo disappointed by Hasselhoff's performance in "This Is The Moment". He completely ruin the song by over-act in the scene. He really wasn't suit for a Broadway Star. He doesn't have the depth and the talent to be one. I really want to kick him after "This Is The Moment".Despite the horrendous performance by Hasselhoff, the supporting cast was wonderful. Especially Coleen Sexton, who played the role of Lucy Harris. She was breathtaking. So good beyond words can describe.Andrea Rivette who portrayed the Emma Carew was also wonderful.Go out and get a copy. The show is worthy to watch. Just don't have too much hope for Hasselhoff. Set aside his lack of Broadway talent and concentrate on the supporting casts, then you will love the show.
