This is a musical - about nerdy Seymour who works for Mr. Mushnik at the Florists in a seedy part of town. Seymour falls for shop assistant Audrey and discovers a strange plant and names it Audrey II. While caring for Audrey II, he discovers the plant's constant appetite for blood and needs it to grow.
I thought this movie was going to give off some scares and thrills, but it's a lame, eccentric flick with overzealous acting. The plot about the carnivorous alien plant seems intriguing but putting it in musical form with endless annoying singing made the movie a drag.
***spoiler ahead***
The movie has two different endings - one where the evil plant is victorious and gobbles everyone up and the other where Seymour fries the plant. The ending where the plant wins really made the already bad film worse, making you feel sorry for the characters.
***spoiler ends***
The cinematography is colorful, and the movie features a big cast like Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, Jim Belushi, John Candy, and Bill Murray. But that is basically the bright spot of the film. I'm being generous with the three rating, but this movie really sucks.
Grade D-
