Tagline: A Singing Plant. A Daring Hero. A Sweet Girl. A Demented Dentist.
Plot: Based on the Roger Corman cult classic, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS slams together twisted humor, a singing plant, a sadistic dentist, and sweet and oblivious love between two skid-row denizens into a rollicking musical well worth watching again and again. Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene portray perfectly clumsy Seymour and bubbly but easily dominated Audrey as they search for a way off skid row. A strange and unusual plant Seymour found after an eclipse might be their ticket out, but the plant Seymour calls Audrey II also desires a strange and unusual food: blood. Audrey’s abusive boyfriend, Orin, a dentist who enjoys inflicting pain (played to the hilt by Steve Martin), is the first to go, but who will be next? And will Audrey II's hunger ever end? Moranis and Greene sing with verve and passion, making each song a joy, and the cartoonish sets recall a stage musical even as Frank Oz wields the camera skillfully to make the most of the movie format. Fans of musicals shouldn’t miss this movie, and nonfans will soon be

 With lots of well-shot musical numbers and some catchy tunes (though admittedly, and expectedly, some of the songs are so-so) this is a morbidly funny little musical with a cast that has fun and a plant that has one heck of a personallity  -- (TheVideoGraveYard.com)
