Plot Outline:
|
Seymour Krelborn, a nerdy orphan is raised and given a job by Mr. Mushnik in his run-down florist on skid row. As an eclipse goes by, he finds a strange and unusual plant he calls Audrey II, after the co-worker he secretly pines for. When the plant displays a taste for blood, he gets concerned. As the plant becomes a hit it grows larger and is soon eating people whole. Can Seymour and Audrey stand up to the monster plant or will it have its way and rule the world? -- Chris Kavan

People rave about Steve Martin's cameo, but comic musicals fail because of one fundamental flaw. Comedy songs are NEVER funny. |

Terrific music, with a seemingly happier ending than the original. The song "Skid Row" is powerful and who can deny "Suddenly Seymour" is a title to think about? |

A musical/comedy cult film along the lines of 'Rocky Horror'. In fact, I watched this as a double feature paired with said movie, when I was very young. I found a strange love for these odd films. More so with this one. It's just camp fun. |

A decent enough envisioning of the musical. I didn't like that some of the songs were extracted, in particular "Don't Feed the Plants." Christopher Guest's cameo is the high point. |

You remember that Total Eclipse of the Sun |

All around great movie, cast and story. I don't know who I liked the best. Ellen Greene, who I also loved in Pushing Daisies, was fantastic. I even liked James Belushi's 5 minute role. But, I have to give it to Moranis and Martin. These two to great work together. I've seen them in this, in "Parent Hood' in "My Blue Heaven' and I hope many more movies. They just have good chemistry together. But the movie was a musical remake of the one that claims to have Jack Nicholson. Nicholson's character in the original was played by Bill Murray in this great version. Murray did a much better job, wow, did I just say that. But yes, Murray did! The music, the plant and the three singing narrating women were great. I wonder if anyone noticed that two of the women were the same lead women ... |
