The off-Broadway comedy-horror-musical hit that ran for years makes a successful transfer to film with a bevy of big-name cameos and two perfectly cast leads. Rick Moranis is the nebbish Seymour, who pines for flower-girl Audrey (Ellen Greene) while living in the basement of florist Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia). Things start turning around for Seymour, though, after he buys a little plant during a solar eclipse, christens it Audrey II, and discovers that it likes to drink blood. Soon enough, though, Seymour finds out that Audrey II, now grown to epic proportions, is in actuality a "mean green mother from outer space" that is hell-bent on world domination. Based on the 1960 Roger Corman cheapie that featured a young Jack Nicholson, Little Shop boasts a hilarious, amazing score by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who would go on to revitalize Disney's animation arm with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Greene, the lone holdover from the original cast, is a ravishing, goofy Audrey, whose awkward demeanor belies a voice that could knock Ethel Merman off her feet. She's ably matched by Moranis, whose lack of a singing voice is perfectly in sync with Seymour's nerdiness. And Levi Stubbs Jr. of the Four Tops provides the lowdown, nasty-minded voice of Audrey II; his rendition of the Oscar-nominated "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" is a showstopper. As for those celebrity cameos, Steve Martin's sadistic dentist is a masterful creation, as is Bill Murray's masochistic patient; John Candy, James Belushi, and Christopher Guest also pop up. And there was never a lovelier and funkier Greek chorus than the three Motown-fueled girls (Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks, and Tisha Campbell) who appear throughout the film. --Mark Englehart

Summary: Little Shop of Horrors
Comment: This is a classic movie with an entertaining plot performed by excellent actors. It is a musical comedy with something for everyone. This movie is just for entertainment, though it does sound some solid underlying themes about facing up to your problems.

Summary: Absolutely adorable....
Comment: I loved this film. It's so low budget and cheap, yet it's immensely watchable, hilarious, and kind of sweet in a dark, sinister way. I think it's Corman's best film (along side his Poe films, which are quite outstanding in their own way), and it's the film that was "infamously" shot in two days. The fact that Corman shot this film at record speed and made a great film is really something special. I've never seen the musicial remake (even though some say it's as good as the original, just a different take on it), but I kind of don't want to ruin the impact this film had. This is an adorable movie, a little creepy, a little scary, and a little sweet.
