Synopsis
Seymour Krelborn is a nerdy orphan working at Mushnik's, a flower shop in urban Skid Row. He harbors a crush on fellow co-worker, Audrey Fulquard, and is berated by Mr. Mushnik daily. One day, Seymour finds a very mysterious unidentified plant which he calls Audrey II. The plant seems to have a craving for blood and soon begins to sing for its supper.

Critics enjoyed Frank Oz's film as a funny, good-natured blend of horror spoof and stage musical, with Steve Martin's sadistic dentist and the man-eating plant puppet as highlights. The main reservation was that its B-movie roots and musical comedy sometimes sit awkwardly together.
