Today I will be reviewing a little "gem" of a movie called Little Shop of Horrors. Most of you, especially those 22 years of age or below, have probably never even heard of this film but I can assure you of one thing. You will like it and you don't have to be an 80's buff to enjoy it either.
The film revolves around a weak "yes man" named Seymour played by Rick Moranis. One day he is walking down the sidewalk and he see's a strange and exotic plant being sold by an Asian man. This man told Seymour that the plant appeared one day after a beam of light came from the sky. So Seymour buys the plant and takes it home with him.
One day he is pruning some roses and pricks his finger. Then the plant, who has a face-like feature with a discernible mouth, starts to act like he wants to suck on Seymour's finger that is bleeding. He allows this and then the plant starts to grow and grow and grow, wanting more and more blood. Soon the plant is over 20 feet tall and starts to talk and acts like the devil upon Seymour's shoulder. The plant even gets Seymour to kill a man and feed the remains to him. Eventually Seymor and the plant face off in a Man vs Plant style in a death match that went down in history as one of the funniest fights in a semi-musical. I won't tell you who wins or to what degree, you will just have to watch it.
There is also an array of stars in this movie just to name a few: Rick Moranis, John Candy, Steve Martin, and Bill Murray.
Movie Rating: 7 out of 10 stars.
Family Rating: This movie has very few curse words and the ones that are spoken are not really that bad at all. Very Mild Language. There are a few scenes of violence which you can't help in most movies but again, it is not that bad. I would gladly let my 7 year old watch this movie without thinking twice about it.
