Little Shop of Horrors
The story begins with the discovery of a terrible comedy. The story begins after the total eclipse, where the owner of an unusual flower shop named Audrey II, a plant species that feeds only on human flesh and blood, was discovered. The plant began to attract a great deal of business to the shop that was under-sales. Finally, Audrey's friend Seymour discovers that he must accompany more bodies to those bloodthirsty plants so they can continue.

For all its expensive excess, fails to recapture the spirit of the original.

A full-blown movie musical, and quite a winning one.

The best moments in this 1987 release belong to Dr. Steve Martin as a dentist with a professional yen for pain.

Some of the slower tunes tend to grind but the sort of musical/ retro irony is still amusing in places. Not if you don't like dentists though.

A fractured, funny production transported rather reluctantly from the stage to the screen.

Comic book creepiness, jazzy tunes, and fab cast.

I have seen a lot of musicals (probably more than most people under the age of 50), and few are as lively and fun as Little Shop of Horrors.

As a whole, the story is uninteresting, most of the characters contrived, and the vast majority of the 94 minutes is almost instantly forgettable, especially the man-eating plant from outer space.

This wild and witty musical is great fun.

One and a half hours of freaky, scary nonsense set to a killer doo-wop soundtrack.

A pulp pop twist on the original Roger Corman horror comedy that's funny, fun, catchy, and well worth its reputation.

You can try not liking this adaptation of the Off-Broadway musical hit -- it has no polish and a pushy way with a gag -- but the movie sneaks up on you, about as subtly as Audrey II.
