Very cute but dark musical, fun for most of the family (teens).
Who doesn’t love a talking carnivorous plant and strong New York accents?
The film has a good score, fun songs, great camera work, and the actors play their unique and campy characters well.
The special effects used to create and animate the monster are excellent, a lot of it is done with puppeteers.
The ending leaves a little to be desired, there is a director’s cut with a different ending.
Features Rick Moranis, Ellen Greene, Steve Martin, Michelle Weeks, Jim Belushi, Tisha Campbell, the voice of Levi Stubb, and others.
