Little Shop of Horrors [DC]
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.

A pulp pop twist on the original Roger Corman horror comedy that's funny, fun, catchy, and well worth its reputation.December 19, 2010
Comic book creepiness, jazzy tunes, and fab cast.August 25, 2008
A fractured, funny production transported rather reluctantly from the stage to the screen.August 25, 2008
One and a half hours of freaky, scary nonsense set to a killer doo-wop soundtrack.May 20, 2003
A full-blown movie musical, and quite a winning one.August 25, 2008
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.January 01, 2000
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.June 24, 2006
This wild and witty musical is great fun.May 25, 2011
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.August 25, 2008
For all its expensive excess, fails to recapture the spirit of the original.May 25, 2011
The best moments in this 1987 release belong to Dr. Steve Martin as a dentist with a professional yen for pain.August 04, 2009
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.
