A movie based on a stageshow based on a movie based on a book!

Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant HILARIOUS film! an absolute classic!

As you will come to learn, i LOVE the musicals, and this has to be one of the best!

from the moment the large black homeless woman starts singing "skid row" i KNOW i'm having fun! This movie never fails to put a big smile on my face, and have me singing along... LOUDLY!

STORY: 5/7 - (ridiculous but brilliant)

Seymour Krelborn was an orphan, who now works at Mushnik's Florist. One day after a... "To-Tal Eclipse Of The Sun!" he finds a VERY strange and interesting plant which he names Audrey2 after his beautiful co-worker. Much terror and dancing ensues.

ACTING: 4.5/7 - (forced but purposefully so)

The ridiculous dialogue in this movie is done so well, and is quite fun

CINEMATOGRAPHY / VISUAL EFFECTS: 7/7 - (Audrey2)

Maybe the GREATEST puppetry ever in the history of film!!

That plant was actually really there, doing all those things!

SCORE / SOUND: 3.5/7 - (to be honest, i don't know)

I didn't really notice any incidental music or anything in this movie... due to the amazing songs.

SONGS: 6/7 - ("seymour's my maaaaaaaaaaaan")

Abso-frickin-lutely WONDERFUL! i will be singing these songs for DAYS!

Ashman and Menken are amazing

OVERALL RATING: 6/7 - (Awesome)
