40 years are now gone, and this comedy is still on sale, the comedy itself is far away more developed that it's year of release, although this movie can only attract just two types of audiences: 1: Crazy comedies' fans or 2: Fans which seen this comedy of it's year of release. Firstly, this film is not the one which calls itself a comedy and makes you sleep at the lunch time, "Little Shop of Horrors" really makes you laugh, doesn't matter who or how old are you, you always going to find a moment in this comedy which would gain your interest.
Story starts as a plant grows and step-by-step requires more and more victims to feed it, the story tells a real- life situations as in 1960's funniest form available, when the person gets a lot, he always wants more...
Actors are trying to perform at their best, especially i seen the great performance on the main characters (starring Jonathan Haze and Jack Nicholson), although their emotions are certainly unreal and film has made some clear errors. Audio and voice quality are great as for old-age black and white movie.
This classic "horror" comedy is for you if you are bored black comedy fan with rainy weather outside in darkness alone at home, replace the Scary Movie for once...
The latest DVD release comes in colour, it is stated PG as for a little violence, but commented as only few scenes contains it, so can be accepted by the general public. Movie is directed by his own time black comedies maestro Roger Corman. No additional features are included, although as in any DVD selection of scenes is available.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, please let me know and I'll re-rate.

I am sorry i had a little time to write this, i though small review was better than no review at all, certainly i was wrong, but now i updated as i could at my best, because i lost this movie old time ago, and i wrote as much as i could remember about him, thank you for your comments.
Hilarious, tacky black comedy from 1960 that may be the best film by B-picture master ... more
Roger Corman, other thanBucket of Blood, made about the same time with the same writer, Charles Griffith. Seymour (Jonathan Haze) is an assistant in a skid-row flower...
Postage & Packaging: £1.21 Availability: Usually dispatched within 1-2 business days...
Advantages: A Cult Musical Classic Disadvantages: Not to everybodies taste.
