Review of Little Nikita (1988) by Spangle — 15 Jul 2016
Little Shop of Horrors is an incredibly 80s film. From the campy approach to everything and the cheesy special effects, Little Shop of Horrors not only embodies its 1960s setting, but also its status as a film in the 1980s.
This element is bolstered by Rick Moranis, who is the quintessential awkward lead in many a 1980s comedy. Here, Moranis is charming as always as a clumsy, awkward, and unfortunate man who winds up getting tasked with caring for this murderous plant.
The music and singing here are very good and the story, though simple, is nice and light which serves as a good backdrop for the comedy here. On that note, the film is hysterical at times, but consistently provides funny moments, which is all you can really ask of a comedy.
With good music, an interesting premise, and consistent comedy, Little Shop of Horrors hits all of its marks.
