I know I saw it as a kid, because of course I did, but I hadn't seen it since then, so I was on a long flight...

How did I like this?
It's so fun! Audrey II is such a great villain and Seymour is the adorable nerd hero we all need. The songs are fun, if not all together memorable. Some of the scenes are pretty random and strange and break the flow of the movie a bit, but overall I enjoy it a lot.

This needs a modern remake ASAP!

This movie so fun. The iconic waiting room! Love it! I have legit tried to summon Betelgeuse before, because obviously. He'd made life more interesting.

Lydia also speaks to my soul. I myself am strange and unusual. Her stepmom is great too.
