A Singing Plant. A Daring Hero. A Sweet Girl. A Demented Dentist.
AroView: A terrifically enjoyable film version of the off-Broadway musical based on the 1960 horror/comedy of the same name.
Rick Moranis stars as plant nerd Seymour who is in love with his co-worker, Audrey (Ellen Greene) at a florist shop where they nurture an exotic plant (voiced by Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops) that develops a monstrous appetite. A treat for the whole family, and featuring a brilliant cameo sequence with Steve Martin.
★★★★★ “It shouldn’t work… but Oz finds a perfect kitsch-harmony to hold the story’s humour and heart (and minimal “horror”) together. Great fun. Moranis and Greene are terrific; the “Skid Row” number one of my all-time favourite musical sequences. ~fairbrother (AroVideo user review)
