Summary: Hysterical, totally weird and tacky
Review: This is a movie you either love or hate. I first heard of this movie when I saw "Fame" ... when I saw the kids in the movie watching this in the theater, it not only looked stupid, but the whole environment of people throwing things at each other in the theater seemed a little scary... and what's with all the midnight theater showings?I finally had to find out what the big fuss was about and so I rented it on video and watched it at a friend's house. The beginning moves pretty slow, but you will soon be either taking the video back (without rewinding) to the store, or you'll be doubled over in laughter during the few minutes your jaw isn't hanging open. Tim Curry is absolutely hilarious and perfect for his role... an outerspace Transexual from Transylvania (a planet, not the country - I think)... Dr. Frankenfurter. Despite the slow parts here and there, the music is great and funny to boot. Where else can you see Susan Surrandon walking around in her underwear and Meatloaf riding a motorcycle with stitches all over his head like Boris Karloff? This is a cult classic, but not just because it's weird and twisted... it's also a musical and a comedy. The soundtrack is great just by itself, good beat, peppy tunes, clever (albeit not mainstream) lyrics. If the idea of seeing a man walking around wearing lipstick and a garter belt makes you want to scream and take a bath, then this isn't the film for you... you'll feel like you need an exorcism afterwards! If you like a good laugh, good music and a movie like you've never seen before, this is worth a shot. After seeing this in the safety of my friend's home, I saw it a couple of years later in the theater. It was an interesting experience I can say I've been through, but that's about it... the movie is enjoyable by itself, just watching it on your tv. The closed captioning makes the DVD worth the cost immediately, so you don't miss any dialogue or lyrics... but this DVD includes hilarious out-takes, previously deleted musical numbers AND terrific THX sound! If you are already a nostalgic fan of this film, this is a must-have DVD. The film includes simulated violence (you see Frankenfurter swing a pick-axe at someone, later he's covered with blood).... and the themes are adult in nature and should not be viewed by children.

Summary: another tim curry masterpiece
Review: This is the only tim curry movie that upstages "clue" (maybe IT) but strictly speaking of comedy...... RHPS has become of course a cult legend.....what a following it has. In just about every major city around the country and probably around the world you can find a live performance of this movie. the costumes....simply divine. you'll scream when the elevator rises up and there is frank-n-furter all decked out in a green medical gown with huge pearl necklace...... Witty comedy, great soundtrack, wonderful dialogue and facial expressions from the entire cast. Little Nell is simply fabulous in that sequened outfit, and the tapdance...priceless... If you are fan of the movie, own it for a lifetime on DVD.

Summary: Great Film Making
Review: This is an unbelieveable cult classic. The plot is incredible and the lyrics to the songs stay in your head for weeks. I caught the "Rocky Horror fever" many months ago and there is nothing stopping me from watching this film and listening to the soundtrack. Many big name stars appear in this film: Susan Surrandon (Dead Man Walking), Barry Bostwick (Spin City), and Tim Currey (Clue). This is a movie that you will love until the day you did. Enjoy the Time Warp!

Summary: Rocky Horror Picture Show DVD
Review: This collector's edition should be the ultimate edition for this cult classic! Here's your chance to talk back to the tv, and no one will think it's strange! Fabulous extras like the Audience Participation soundtrack and deleted scenes will delight any movie buff. I love this movie, and love this dvd.

Summary: Not For Everyone, But Definitely for Me!
Review: So maybe this isn't exactly award-winning material. So what? "Rocky Horror" isn't meant to be some uptight, emotional, stuffy piece; in fact, it goes out of its way to be just the opposite. It's a satirical piece that makes plays on corny sci-fi late night flicks, drippy musicals, and corny Frankenstein-type horror [ex. Doctor Frank N. Furter, for example?] The movie is packed with get-up-and-dance rock tunes, overdone acting that seems just right, and a wildly ridiculous plot. Tim Curry is simply brilliant; from his authoriative-yet-plaintive cries of "Oh Rocky!" to his flashy and utterly corny performance of "Sweet Transvestite." The best scene for me is right after he transduces Janet, Brad, Doctor Scott, Rocky, and Columbia, sighing heavily, "It's not easy having fun...even smiling makes my teeth ache.." before biting his finger in melodramatic anguish. Other good performances include that of Susan Sarandon, who scores high as the naive and inexperienced yet curious Janet. "Rocky Horror" isn't for everybody. Some may write it off as "sick" while others may view it as pointless. True, it took me a while to realize the whole point of the movie and piece together bits of the plot for myself, but this movie is all in good humor. So, to all you people out there who
a) refuse to see "Rocky" after hearing 5 or 6 people complaining about its disgusting content
b) have seen it once and, after deciding that it was "pointless," and turned the movie off immediately... This I say to you...
"Maybe Rocky Horror isn't really to blame. So, I'll remove the cause..... But NOT the symptom!"

Summary: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Review: Besides being one of the most popular cult movies of all time, the Rocky Horror Picture Show provides hours of entertainment with the characters you want to be and the places you want to go! Perfect for parties, Halloween, or at home by yourself. Awesome movie. Great conversation starter with friends. Never will regret it.I haven't.

Summary: Let's NOT do the Time Warp - ever again, OK?
Review: Contrary to other reviews on this page, this movie is NOT outrageous(if you want that buy Pink Flamingos); it is NOT funny (buy Love & Death for that); it does NOT contain good songs (buy X: The unheard music...now!); and it does NOT deserve the title "Cult Film" (Eraserhead - now there's a cult film). Do you wanna know who really loves this film? People who were Theater Majors in college and now work as greeters at Wallmart, that's who. They love it because it gave them a chance to "rebel" (although in a safe environment, surrounded by others that considered Meatloaf a cultural icon.). My point? If you want a good Rock 'n' Roll film, check out the one's I've listed above. If you're looking for a middle-of-the-road B movie that wouldn't offend an Iowa corn-farmer, look no farther.

Summary: Takes a while to grow on you, but when it does you're hooked
Review: The first few times I saw this movie, I can't say I liked it. There was just this feel to it that kept me from liking it. Then, for no particular reason, I began to like it. I now appreciate every part of the movie and how they each build up on each other. Parts that bothered me, like Time Warp, have really become some of my favorites. Tim Curry, who is always interesting, still scares me with his portrayal of Dr. Frank•N•Furter, but I guess that's to be expected. Susan Sarandon couldn't be better as Janet, one of my favorite musical heroines ever, and Barry Bostwick is just as square as Brad should be. The real treats, of course, are Columbia and Magenta. They are most definitely my favorite characters in the show because they are undoubtably fun and sexy. Songs like "Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me" and "Dammit, Janet", which I've always loved, play in my head continuously and other songs, like "Science Fiction Double Feature" keep growing on me and get stuck up top sometimes too. In my opinion, one of the best moments in this film is the surreal "Be It" sequence in the pool. It is very calming in an extremely perverse way... Oh well, long live this cult-favorite and it's even better if you go to a theatre and participate.

Summary: The Ultimate Camp
Review: This film is more fun than finding out the IRS owes YOU! Well, almost. Tim Curry's every movement, facial expression and raised eyebrow is perfect. He took his depiction of Frank'n'Furter all the way to Alpha Centauri. Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon were wonderful as the naive lovers. Richard O'Brien made the most delightful Handy-man, a cross between the oh-so-correct English butler and Boris Karloff with a bit of Roger Daltry tossed in. But the star of the film, beyond a doubt, is the music. It's bursting with joy, melodic, lyrical. You just can't help but grin and sing along. Try it; you'll like it!
