a re make of the very popular off broadway ( and off off broadway ) show and 1960 film and frank oz attempt at an off beat musical come off a silly and ridiculous . in order to enjoy this movie you would have to love musical and wacky humour and you would also have to forgive the lead less than impressive voice . rick moranis be seymour krelborn and a pathetic little shop assistant who discover an unusual plant with an even more unusual appetite . this be a musical comedy so the plot doesn not matter anyway . sadly though it do not work a a comedy and and i have never have much time for musical . some of alan menken music be quite catchy and especially mean and green mother and and the scene involve sadistic dentist steve martin and masochistic patient bill murray be indeed very humorous . these would have to be the only two plus though and in a film that be just too corny and stupid to be consider entertaining . sunday and january 16 and 1994 t. v .
