| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Little Shop of Horrors |
|---|
Seymour Krelborn is a downtrodden florist shop worker in Skid Row during the 1960s, deeply in love with his co-worker--Audrey, and trying to find a way to impress her. During a total eclipse of the sun he finds a strange and unusual, never before seen plant, and stakes his hopes for fame and fortune on it. But the plant, named Audrey II, turns out to be sentient--and 'she' has an agenda. This very funny movie is a musical, based on a successful play, and the sixties flavored numbers are authentic, upbeat, and amusing.
