From the campy approach to everything and the cheesy special effects, Little Shop of Horrors not only embodies its 1960s setting, but also its status as a film in the 1980s. This element is bolstered by Rick Moranis, who is the quintessential awkward lead in many a 1980s comedy. Here, Moranis is charming as always as a clumsy, awkward, and unfortunate man who winds up getting tasked with caring for this murderous plant. The music and singing here are very good and the story, though simple, is nice and light which serves as a good backdrop for the comedy here. On that note, the film is hysterical at times, but consistently provides funny moments, which is all you can really ask of a comedy. With good music, an interesting premise, and consistent comedy, Little Shop of Horrors hits all of its marks.… Expand

Some catchy music, a great cast and a funny script. The whole movie does feel like it's being done on a stage, but it doesn't really matter as it adds to the charm. Audrey 2 is just really a great and a fine example of animatronics. SomeSome catchy music, a great cast and a funny script.

Some great cameos, if you can spot them. Overall: A fun comedy musical with a slightly dark edge.… Expand

This is a pretty messed up movie but its a great play and the actors do such a great job of it that it hardly matters :P I love some of the songs in this and its just a feel-good 80's musical that anyone can really enjoy.

I think the Dentist scenes are a little extra creepy but Steve Martin plays the character spot on so that's OK. After watching this for I think the second time now I can't wait for my production of this Overall a great movie that's nothing but thoroughly entertaining!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am a huge fan of musicals, but this film is one of my favorite that has been remade into a movie. Even though the original was in the 60's, this is by far the best version. The movie is meant to be made dark, silly and even cheesy. But everything is just done so well and it's so enjoyable. I think the actors really make this movie what it is. This is by far my favorite performance by Rick Moranis, but it's also fun to see Steve Martin, and even a Bill Murray cameo. For an older movie, they also do such a great job making Audrey II look so lifelike, and there are no silly CGI moments, etc. The one thing I go back and forth on is whether or not they should have used the original ending, where Audrey II takes over the world, Audrey dies and nothing really ends well. But then again, I love seeing how cute it is when Seymour defeats Audrey II once and for all, while him and Audrey get their happily ever after. This film is just great and I highly recommend it to anyone who's into movie musicals. It's hilarious, charming and messed up, all in one package.… Expand
