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

 Just like I remembered... March 17, 2010
Arashi (Seattle, WA USA)
I haven't seen this movie since the '80s and it was wonderful to see it again. The picture quality was great and after a slew of movies that have been ruined by "improvements" to the graphics it was quite refreshing to find it unmucked with.
 Instant classic February 18, 2010
Boston 82
Such a great movie/musical as "Little Shop" is essential to any movie collection. The movie is hilarious, fun, and a classic throwback to the over-th-top movies of the 80's. An absolute must see for the whole family!

My Favorite Musical By Far!!! A must by for Musical Lovers!!! January 16, 2010
Joseph Howdeshell
I remember my parents showing this movie to me when I was about 5 or 6 (I'm 16 now), and I remember loving it then. In 2003 I was so excited that the broadway revival was coming to my area and I was soo excited to see it! We had our tickets and everything but for some strange reason, the show got cancelled! We recently moved to a new city and I was so excited when I heard that my high school was putting on a production of Little Shop! Having been in choir for 6 years and having a fairly good acting career, I was so sure that I would get a part and I did! I got Seymour (the lead)!
After reading some of the reviews about this dvd, some people said that it had the original broadway ending, but I haven't watched the one I bought yet. Even though I know how it is supposed to end (with Seymour and Audrey dying), I still want to see it!
I love the cast of this movie, and I think that they cast very well!
A classic that you must own for yourself!!!
Love the musical January 7, 2010
Brandiwine (Baltimore, MD USA)
This is a funny musical. One of my favorite musicals and Steve Martin is great. It is about a plant from space, that is purchased by a quite guy that works at a flower shop. The plant starts to make him famous but seems to be dying. He finds out it needs blood to live and grow. The story is good and has a subplot of a love story between him and a coworker he has always had a crush on.
