Movie Reviews: Little Shop of Horrors

Why, oh why have I never seen this before? I really enjoyed it. It's a film based on an off-Broadway musical, based on an older film, about a man eating plant from outer space, all wrapped up in 80s gloriousness. It stars Rick Moranis with enjoyable brief appearances from Steve Martin, John Candy, Christopher Guest and Bill Murray. Steve Martin is particularly funny as an evil dentist who has posibly the weirdest death scene I've ever seen! Despite gruesome deaths, swearing, sadism and domestic abuse, the film still somehow manages to be warm and fuzzy. But what really made it for me was the music. I'll be singing "Little shop, little shop of horrors!" for weeks!
