A man-eating plant. How bizarre of a concept can you get? And to push it even further, make it a musical. With Rick Moranis in the lead role. He plays an employee of an unsuccessful flower shop. After an eclipse, he finds a strange and interesting plant that he has never seen before. The plants diet: blood. This film, which was based on a Broadway musical, which was inspired by a non-musical movies, has its ups and downs. Ups: Steve Martin as the sadistic, almost-Joker like, boyfriend of Audrey. And the cameo appearances by Bill Murray and John Candy were amusing. But other than that, I didn't find the movie as entertaining or funny as I hoped. The ending was less than satisfactory. Now, I have read that there are two endings: the original "happy" ending (the one I saw), or the intended Director's Cut that was finally just recently released on Blu-Ray, which I am quite interested in seeing. Perhaps watching the other would change my opinion of the film. I sure hope so. All in all, it wasn't horrible, but it could have been better.
