Amazon.co.uk Review
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 revitalise 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 demeanour 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 low-down, 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-fuelled girls (Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks and Tisha Campbell) who appear throughout the film. --Mark Englehart, Amazon.com

5.0 out of 5 stars An Unsung Gem, 12 Dec 2007
By David Rush "Fasten your seatbelts, its going ... (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This little gem of a musical cannot be recommended more. It stars Rick Moranis as geeky Seymour, a guy whose totally in love with his sweet co-worker Audrey. However, she is in a relationship with an abusive dentist. When a talking plant appears from outer space though, things have got to change for the better, right? An astonishingly original concept - which was actually borrowed from the horror original by Roger Corman, with an early appearance by Jack Nicholson - is brought to life by Frank Oz, director of The Dark Crystal and Bowfinger, also starring Steve Martin. The songs are outstanding and are performed with much gusto by the leading actors, particularly Ellen Greene, who reprises the role of Audrey which she played in the stage version. The film was not a huge success when it was first released, but has rightly established a cult following since then. Long may it continue!

5.0 out of 5 stars Feed me Seymour...Feed me all night long!, 26 Jul 2000
By A Customer
Are you a blood sucking vampire from another world? If you love that stuff then get stuck into Little Shop of Horrors. Or should I say suck in! (Joke) Rick Moranis plays the geeky ophan who is in love with Audrey played by Ellen Greene. Keep the lights low and tuck up in bed with your cushion at the ready because Audrey II is comeing to get you. Sing-along-songs involved and always remember NEVER BUY A PLANT AFTER A TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Timeless Comedy Classic, 7 Sep 2003
If ever a film deserved accolades for bringing a successful Broadway musical to screen,it's Litttle Shop Of Horrors. It deserves it more so than other film adaptations like West Side Story, as it brings something entirely new into the experience. It's definetly a hilarious film, and every song is instantly unforgettable.
This DVD also includes a good 40 minutes + of bonus material that is quite intereting and funny to watch. There's also a commentary by the Director Frank Oz, which is very informative and pleasant. And another excellent feature is to watch the film, so that only the songs get played without the sounds of the film.
It's nice but if you've got the films soundtrack, it's rather pointless.
If you love musicals or just love comedies, this is a film you can't go wrong with.
Bill Murrays performance alone should warrant it's purchase.
