best movie i've ever seen.
As Good As It Gets
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I absolutely LOVED that movie. It contains everything for people like me; comedy, songs, dance, mystery, and such good actors its' unbelievable.From the beginning song to the end I've been carried away on a laugh and love ride. Steve Martin is hilarious and to see him with black hair! Just that is worth the movie!I've been totally carried away with the Skid Row song and dance. This is the best number I have seen since quite many years. The timing, the moves, the words, all is perfect and such performances by all that it blew my mind. I still listen to it on MP3 and see it in my head. Yes, it influenced me that much.By the way, usually I prefer the director's cut, but in this case I prefer the theatre cut, it makes more sense. It flows better. I guess it will be upon each watcher to make their own decision.This is still a masterpiece and should be watched by any serious movie lover, as long as you like song and dance in a movie.
Based on a classic Broadway musical, this campy comedy-horror picture offers one of the most charming musical experiences of the 80s. Brought together by director Frank Oz, who's most known for providing the voice of Yoda in the popular 'Star Wars' franchise, this movie sets stone to a hodgepodge of B-movie homages and charming musical numbers that sum up to a sweet, campy good time. From the premise focusing on a killer plant, this movie operates on a reasonable level of absurdity. But it is not without its charms and laughs to fuel the heart of the viewers. It is silly, it is funny, and it is self-aware of its goofiness. Furthermore, it can't go wrong with a gift basket of cameos from some of Hollywood's most appealing comedic actors. If there are any flaws plaguing this experience, it may the dated humor that teen-aged youngster may not appeal to. Nonetheless, there is a spectacle to be admired here. This film stars Rick Moranis as Seymour Krelborn, a geeky urban florist who runs a floral shop with his Mushnik (played by Vincent Gardenia) and his flirtatious co-worker Audrey (played by Ellen Green) who he happens to have a crush on, but is in relationship with an eccentric dentist named Orin Scrivello (played by Steve Martin). And guess what, he's abusive. When he unexpectedly springs to life a carnivorous plant that consumes human blood, he finally sees a hope for a new life opportunity.A talking plant that preys on humans? That may sound an overly cartoonish idea. But the bright side is this film knows how to have fun with the concept. Opening with the titular song performed by a spectacular musical trio, this movie blends elements of 1950s B- movies with an endearing collage of sweet musical numbers that fun to listen to, that is if you are not prone to ear sores from 80s pop music. Rick Moranis steps into the role of a nerdy florist who is constantly faces the downs of a mundane life, from aggressively pursuing a girl he is deeply in love with, to desperately meeting the needs of his boss's floral shop. Much of this accounts of a charming mix of gut-busting slapstick humor and sweeping hilarity at every turn. There are also some more disturbing elements added to the mix however, and these include darkly funny scenes of the killer plant lunching on human blood. However, these scenes are intentionally play for laughs, if a little morbidity, and never meant to be nightmare-inducing. And lastly, how much joy could you inject into this musical without a nice surprise visits of cameos by Bill Murray, John Candy, James Belushi, and Christopher Guest -- all of whom make for decent comedic performance for their limited times on screen. Comedic veteran Steve Martin however, is easily the biggest show stealer aside from the killer plant. Shining with absorbing hilarity and comedic charm, Martin makes a satisfying presence in his role. Little Shop of Horrors is a delightful, campy musical spectacle that blossoms with spectacular musical numbers and a surprising amount of energy and wit that many musical (and comedy) fans can admire. Calling this film a musical masterpiece would be saying an awful lot, especially in the age of musicals like 'Grease' and 'Hairspray'. Nonetheless, this movie makes for an appetizing source of entertainment.
It's a black campy horror film remake of a 1960 film of the same ilk. The original is typical of Ed Wood, Hammer Film Productions of the era, low budget horror, actors not that well know at the time, crank it out fast, under or at budget.This remake is just perfect, it's polished without taking away from the original, it has a strong feeling of seeing a theater performance, not surprising since it is base on an off Broadway musical production, but here you get close ups of the actors, I enjoy a lot how it was film in this theater vs movie style.The doo-wop and that old black 60s Motown sound peppered thru it is just wonderful and fits the movie well. Love how the actors are allowed to use their own voice belting it out, with very little enhancing. Steve Martin's evil Elvis dentist is just throttled back enough for a great performance, Rick Moranis carries the movie well as the plant geek, all the actors are top notched. Even the Plant, well he is a mess and full off himself, love the steal the coin from the cash register to make a call scene, that smirk of being so pleased with himself.I still enjoy the original black and white but this one is so good, unfortunately it's an unfair comparison, this was no low budget film and was based on one of the most profitable off Broadway musical ever, something like a 5 year run, over 2,000 performances.
I certainly don't understand the low rating on here for this film - if you've never seen it before don't let that put you off watching it.LSOH was my 'family movie' as a kid, introduced to us by our dentist uncle. Everything about it is just perfect it - is funny, self-aware and contains too many brilliant scenes to count. The songs are consistently great and the casting is spot on. I especially love all the amazing cameos: Bill Murray, John Candy etc.Whenever I'm ill or feeling down, all I need to do to feel better is just watch this film. I never trust anyone says they don't like this film!
