Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com essential video The off-Broadway comedy-horror-musical hit that ran for years makes a successful transfer to film with a bevy of big-name cameos and two perfectly cast leads. Rick Moranis is the nebbish Seymour, who pines for flower-girl Audrey (Ellen Greene) while living in the basement of florist Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia). Things start turning around for Seymour, though, after he buys a little plant during a solar eclipse, christens it Audrey II, and discovers that it likes to drink blood. Soon enough, though, Seymour finds out that Audrey II, now grown to epic proportions, is in actuality a "mean green mother from outer space" that is hell-bent on world domination. Based on the 1960 Roger Corman cheapie that featured a young Jack Nicholson, Little Shop boasts a hilarious, amazing score by Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who would go on to revitalize Disney's animation arm with The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Greene, the lone holdover from the original cast, is a ravishing, goofy Audrey, whose awkward demeanor belies a voice that could knock Ethel Merman off her feet. She's ably matched by Moranis, whose lack of a singing voice is perfectly in sync with Seymour's nerdiness. And Levi Stubbs Jr. of the Four Tops provides the lowdown, nasty-minded voice of Audrey II; his rendition of the Oscar-nominated "Mean Green Mother from Outer Space" is a showstopper. As for those celebrity cameos, Steve Martin's sadistic dentist is a masterful creation, as is Bill Murray's masochistic patient; John Candy, James Belushi, and Christopher Guest also pop up. And there was never a lovelier and funkier Greek chorus than the three Motown-fueled girls (Tichina Arnold, Michelle Weeks, and Tisha Campbell) who appear throughout the film. --Mark Englehart

May 25, 1999 15 out of 15 found this review helpful Recently checked this out over the weekend, prepared to merely re-watch an old favorite-but boy, is there a lot of cool "add ons" in this version made for DVD! First of all, the film comes letterboxed-only (some people like having the choice, but if you've seen this in a movie theater, you notice a LOT of stuff cut off at the edges by "blowing it up" to full screen), a walk through commentary by legendary puppeteer (voice of ms. piggy/grover) turned director-Frank Oz that lends a humourous and insightful (if sometimes technical)overview from the one guy most qualified to talk about its behind the scenes trials and tribualations. You'll be surprised at just how much work and planning really went into it. And, best of all-the legendary original ending! Yes, it's true, the off-broadway musical (and even the Corman B-movie original) had a VERY different ending. This is where Oz's comments come in particularly handy as first hand guide to the very tough decisions a filmaker has to make regarding his work if the people paying for it ultimately call the shots. So why is it not available? Well, turns out the lost ending footage is owned by producer David Geffen, who did not clear or approve its inclusion on the disc. Could be because presented with another choice, fans of this movie may agree with Oz (and screenwriter Howard Ashman, who died in 1991) on the original ending having a much greater impact. So if you can find this disc, by all means check it out! People, It's the Original Ending to Little Shop! August 6, 2002 11 out of 11 found this review helpful Alright. If you saw Little Shop, you saw this ending; Seymour electrocutes Audrey 2 and Audrey and Seymour escape. This is how is really ends; Audrey 2 tries to eat Audrey but Seymour pulled her out. They go outside, but it was too late. Before Audrey dies, she sings a reprise of Somewhere That's Green that will tear your heart out. She sings it so Seymour can understand that as soon as she dies she wants to be in the plant. So he'll understand that they'll always be together. As soon as she's done singing she sadly dies. Lyrics to Somewhere That's Green (Reprise) You'll wash my tender leaves, You'll smell my sweet perfume, You'll water me and care for me, You'll see my bud and bloom, I'm feeling strangely happy now, Contented and serene, Don't you see... I'll finally be... Somewhere That's Green... Seymour feeds her to the plant, runs to the top of a building and tries to commit suicide, but a man named Patrick Martin, tells him that he took one of Audrey 2's cuttings and made hundreds of Audrey 2s. Seymour walks back in. Audrey 2 sings Mean Green Mother (as he did in the present version) but swallows Seymour whole. It turns out,when people buy Audrey 2, they all are talked into feeding it blood. It all comesto world destruction and a song,Finale (Don't Feed the Plants). Audrey 2 had won. The script is on [...] definite must-have for a real fan August 9, 2008 David W. Sinclair (Los Angeles, CA USA) 7 out of 7 found this review helpful This dvd was released around March of 1998. (Which makes it rare to begin with, since dvd's really didn't even catch on until 2000.) Warner Bros. released this dvd, and about 1 or 2 days later, all the copies were recalled. Apparently, The alternate ending (which has the audrey II spawning, and creating more plants, and then using this plant army to dominate the entire world!!) was left on the cutting room floor, because, according to the commentary, when they screened this ending with a test audience, they were horrified... so it was relpaced with the happy ending. (The plant dies, everyone lives, yay!!!) However, when they released the dvd, they added this alternate ending in the special features, apparently without the permission of Frank Oz, the director. So he filed a lawsuit against warner bros., forcing them to recall all the unsold copies of the film. (The dvd was later re-released, without the alternate ending......) "Suddenly, Seymour is standin' beside you..." May 19, 2005 Kona (Emerald City) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful This 50's-style musical/comedy/satire is sure to put a smile on your face and have you rockin' to the tunes. Rick Moranis stars as Seymour, a clumsy, nerdy florist who secretly pines for his ditzy co-worker, Audrey. Seymour gets a mysterious plant that amazingly brings him fame and fortune, but it grows at an alarming rate, and it drinks... blood. What is Seymour to do? Rick Moranis gives his best performance to date as the quintessential loser who melts your heart. He has that puppy dog face and over-sized glasses, and a lot of talent. In the film's funniest scene, Steve Martin plays everybody's nightmare: a sadistic dentist (with Bill Murray as his too-willing patient). There are a lot of fun, bouncy songs, plenty of laughs, and some touching moments, too. Heartily recommended. Kona So Good It Can Please The Hungriest Viewers ý Even Audrey II December 24, 2000 Dave (Bethel Park, Pa) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful "Little Shop of Horrors" is a piece of work. In the story of a geeky shopboy, an abused girl, a wicked dentist, and one hungry plant, everything flows together smoothly. The story, first a cheapy B-film, then an Off-Broadway musical success before landing in this film, is ridiculously off-beat - so peculiar that it makes perfect sense and is incredibly fun. Alan Menken and Howard Ashman put together a memorable lot of songs that are bested by nothing else. Most notably, `Suddenly, Seymour' and `Somewhere That's Green' ooze with the stuff that dreams are made of. Rick Moranis is wonderfuly pathetic as Seymour, and it's surprising how well he can actually sing. Stealing the show, however, is the delightful Ellen Greene as Audrey. Her voice is sharp enough to etch into Baccarat crystal and then some. It's no wonder they carried her over from the original production. Whenever Audrey is on screen, nothing falls flat - but that's redundant because this film never falls flat. Speaking of the original production, this film strayed from it quite a bit. I'm sure no one gives a hoot about revising one song into another and cutting some altogether - However there is much controversey surrounding the infamous Alternate Ending. That is the only thing keeping this disc from the most prominent spot in my collection. The alternate - and orginal ending consisted of Audrey and Seymour being devoured by the plant and Audrey II rampaging the city. Test audiences booed it, prompting the change. The original DVD didn't have the final product of this ending either - just a black and white workprint. Allegedly, for an anniversary down the line, David Geffen will rerelease the film in theatres with this ending. Until then, the otherwise wonderful disc is devoid of one vital bonus.
