Review of The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) by Tsubaki S — 23 Oct 2011

Is there a film more fun than parody-musical extravaganza The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Here is a movie so joyously randy, knowingly witty and good-natured that it has become cinema's answer to perpetual motion--as long as society has its misfits, Rocky Horror will forever fuel their need for "dynamic tension" with its iconic characters, massive hooks, and more Curry than is present in all of India.

Best of all, it's not "so bad its good"--it's so good at being bad it's brilliant, and is compulsively watchable (and its soundtrack so dangerously addictive) in ways few movies ever even dream of being.
