Boy, did I get sucked into this one. Director Joe Dante, who did he Gremlins films and some other interesting movies, was quoted on the video box as saying this is "irrestibily watchable as The Little Shop Of Horrors," so I bought it sight-unseen. Wow, Joe, you weren't even close. Little Shop of Horrors (the original) was outstanding; this movie stinks!
The humor was almost non-existent. The characters were supposed to be really weird. Yes, they were weird but weird enough to be memorable or fun to watch. In fact, the film commit the ultimate sin for a movie - it's boring.
Anybody who claims this was suspenseful or entertaining must lead a very dull life. I'll never believe Joe Dante again.
