Review of Little Shop of Horrors (1986) by Zach M — 30 Jul 2010

To its credit, the songs are good, so that checks the first box for any musical. And Steve Martin is a hoot, as are most of the "guest stars." To its detriment: everything else. You know it's troublesome when the only character you care about is the abusive scumbag boyfriend of the love interest.

The leads are boring, it's not all that funny, and Oz's direction is just too stifling. I guess I liked the plant as well, but this is pretty lame.
