Summary: Good Clean Fun...
Review: As a New Yorker, I remember the original Broadway version fondly. It was based upon the Roger Corman classic which was shot in 1960 in just two days and featured a classic scene with Jack Nicolson in the dentists office (played by Bill Murray in this version).This particular release is actually a movie version of the Broadway adaptation. It features a great cast, including Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene (who was in the original Broadway version). It's a silly premise, which was silly enough in the 1960's version, but with the music it's even sillier.

Review: A musical is more like it, and the humor is jay leno kind of humor. Not funny, not gory, just annoying.

Summary: possibly the best musical-comedy ever!
Review: Finally! My favorite musical-comedy of all time is available on DVD. A MUST-SEE for anyone who likes musicals and black comedies.
It's about Seymour Krelborn (played to perfecton by Rick Moranis) a nerdy loner working in a florist in downtown skidrow. He spends his time looking after a "strange and interesting" plant, a fly trap, that feeds on blood. When it grows and starts talking (with tremendous special effects)it brings him good fortune, yet Krelborn realizes he has to kill people to keep it alive. This is one of my favorite films ever! The cast is outstanding, the music is brilliant and when the man-eating plant finds it's voice(thanks to great work by Levi Stubbs) the fun remains,despite sporadic horror. The cast is brilliant. Rick Moranis is brilliant, Vincent Gardenia is excellent and Ellen Greene is a delight as the squeaky-voiced love interest of Krelborn . Watch out for a few surprise cameo roles too, including the late-great John Candy, James Belushi,Steve Martin and Christopher Guest. Keep a special look out for Bill Murray (one of the funniest men in America) in a hilarious role as a pain-loving patient for the sadistic dentist (played by the always funny Steve Martin)

Summary: Somewhere thats green......
Review: This movie has everything most movies should have but don't. Geeky heroes with a passion for zinnias, creepy sadistic dentists, enormous city-eating plants, a Greek chorus of do-wop girls and a busty blonde with a lisp and a Marylin delivery. What more do you want in a comedy? Starting out as an equally wonderful stage musical, this movie is worth watching just for the unforgettable performances of Steve Martin and Bill Murray ALONE. Martin, as the aforementioned sadistic dentist, has a short scene with cameo-appearing Murray who is a masochistic patient eager to strap on the gas mask. But I get ahead of myself. If the scene above sounds funny to you, the rest of the movie will leave you in stitches. The musical numbers remain largely intact, with the lamentable cut of "Mushnik and Son" (a mercenary duet between the money-hungry Mr. Mushnik and the family-hungry geek, Seymour), and the even more lamentable ommission of "The Meek Shall Inherit" which robbed Steve Martin of a chance to play in a few more roles! Rick Moranis, who later played other lovable geeks in "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" and "My Blue Heaven" (alongside Steve Martin again!), is a flawless and perfect Seymour. Nuff said. Ellen Greene thankfully reprised her stage role as Audrey-- and she is possibly the only person to ever infuse Audrey with the perfect mix of innocence and ridiculousness. Cameo roles are abundant, and all are perfect. Especially watch for John Candy, who has one of the funniest bits written specifically for the movie. Disliked the ending a little bit-- but understood why they had to do it. 4 stars for almost being the best cult-movie-musical out there!!

Summary: A guilty pleasure
Review: I'll be honest. I love this movie. I bought it because my six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter love it, but I had selfish reasons as well. It's fun, funny, and entirely tongue-in-cheek. We all love the music and the story. Rick Moranis is great, Ellen Green is perfect, and you can't help but love Steve Martin as the dentist. If you have any sense of fun in you, get this movie.

Review: As good or maybe even better than the Broadway version. This movie is super great. Ellen Greene who i admire so very much gives the best performance of her life. Her talent and her extremely powerful singing voice is unmatched. I absolutely love her. Rick plays a wonderful Seymore and basically the whole cast is just great.It's a fun and sick musical to watch and i would put this in the same group as "Sweeney Todd". The 5.1 stereo sound engulfs you in splender and will have you humming the tunes long after the film is over. Buy it now and take in the fun. Well worth every dollar.

Summary: Kind of good Kind of IRRITATING
Review: Well I bought this movie thinking it was just one of funnest things I could remember-- I don't know but this thing was like so many off-broadway shows RIDDLED with theatrical cliche, annoying and obvious characterizations, inconsistent musical numbers, and a deviating, self-conciously goofy plot and clumsy comedic touch. All that being said the effects are incredible, but you know after a while it's kind of like I think I'd just rather be watching the Muppet Movie. Or even the Great Muppet Caper. Or hell, even Muppets Take Manhattan! I appreciate Ms. Green's abilities, but for the love of pete tone down the voice and Rick moranis aye you stink! But the three girls are great-- although they have one number too many. Gardenia-- oh good lord please if I have to hear another affected nu yohka accent... well at any rate there is some amazing art direction and attention to detail. And everyone else loves it. Leave my cheese out in the wind. (I think that's from Ferris Buellers). Watch Rocky Horor instead-- MUCH BETTER musical number and hell you've got Tim Curry in that one.

Summary: People, It's the Original Ending to Little Shop!
Review: Alright. If you saw Little Shop, you saw this ending;
Seymour electrocutes Audrey 2 and Audrey and Seymour escape.
This is how is really ends;
Audrey 2 tries to eat Audrey but Seymour pulled her out. They go outside, but it was too late. Before Audrey dies, she sings a reprise of Somewhere That's Green that will tear your heart out. She sings it so Seymour can understand that as soon as she dies she wants to be in the plant. So he'll understand that they'll always be together. As soon as she's done singing she sadly dies.
Lyrics to Somewhere That's Green (Reprise)
You'll wash my tender leaves,
You'll smell my sweet perfume,
You'll water me and care for me,
You'll see my bud and bloom,
I'm feeling strangely happy now,
Contented and serene,
Don't you see...
I'll finally be...
Somewhere That's Green...
Seymour feeds her to the plant, runs to the top of a building and tries to commit suicide, but a man named Patrick Martin, tells him that he took one of Audrey 2's cuttings and made hundreds of Audrey 2s. Seymour walks back in. Audrey 2 sings Mean Green Mother (as he did in the present version)
but swallows Seymour whole. It turns out,when people buy Audrey 2, they all are talked into feeding it blood. It all comesto world destruction and a song,Finale (Don't Feed the Plants).
Audrey 2 had won.
The script is on [...]

Summary: A Hothouse Full of Laughs!
Review: Little Shop of Horrors is the funniest musical/black comedy ever made. It's so funny! Rick Moranis is great as Seymour Krelborn. Ellen Greene plays Audrey perfectly because she was also in the stage version. There are several guest apperances by: Steve Martin(the histarical dentist), James Belushi, John Candy, Christoper Guest, and Bill Murray. The film was directed by Frank Oz who did a fantastic job also. The music in the film is great. The DVD has a lot of features which include: Commentary by director Frank Oz, outtakes, gags, behind the scenes footage, Making of feature, theatrical trailers, cast bios, and more. The picture isn't the best but the sound is really good. Overall the DVD is A work. Little Shop of Horrors is about a guy named Seymour, who works at a plant shop that doesn't get a lot of customers. He likes his coworker, Audrey, a lot but shes dating a lunatic of a dentist(Steve Martin) who beats on Audrey, but since he's a "professional" she won't leave him. The boss of the shop is about to close the shop when Seymour shows him the strange plant that he got from the market. He puts it in the window and the boss doesn't think it's going to work. Then a man comes in asking about the plant. Seymour tells him and then the man asks if they can spilt a hundred so he can get 50 roses. The boss says no and the man decides to buy 100 roses. Finally some money for Mushnik's Flower Shop. The film goes on to show what happens to the plant, Seymour, Audrey, and Mushnik's. Be sure to check this film out becuase it shows people dont have to act stupid in a movie to get laughs. The film is 94 minutes long on a widescreen DVD. Also its PG-13 for some violence. I hope you like this film as much as I and many other people did. Thanks
