Oh. Did I say it’s a musical? Sort of. B
Now here is something REALLY peculiar! Little Shop, released in 1986, is a MUSICAL about an extra terrestrial plant (it calls itself a “mean green motha from outer space) that lands in Brooklyn, of all places, with intent to take over the earth. It is thwarted by Rick Moranis, cheered on by Ellen Greene. Steve Martin plays the kind of dentist we all had nightmares about as kids, and Levi Stubbs voices the plant, in a dialect that probably would get him in trouble now. Pretty good – but peculiar. B.
Note: I wrote a long, detailed review of this flic, but then lost it. I am too disgruntled to do it over.
