Review of Little Shop of Horrors (1986) by Garrett C — 02 Jul 2016
This movie really surprised me, for one, I didn't realize it was by Alan Mencken and Howard Ashman before I saw it! So it was interesting to hear their early pre-Disney music. The film was definitely an improvement over the original Corman (but the man made it in two days and it's still a fun and lasting film), but I was pleased to find that this film was really excellent.
The songs were clever and catchy, the performances are nicely campy, the humor was good. Steve Martin's role was great, but Bill Murray was sort of a let down after seeing Jack Nicholson's original manic performance.
Overall a fun musical that improves on the original.
