I haven't seen the original b/w, and I haven't seen the stage version either! - I haven't lived - but this film is a good musical.
This film is a fun musical that passes the time easily enough. Rick Moranis (surely that poor guy is stereotyped) and Ellen Greene both do very well in their roles, and they carry the film well. But to me, there are only two stars in this film...
The brilliantly OTT Steve Martin as the Dentist and Bill Murray as Arthur Denton. God! and these two share a scene?! Oh yes, and it's as madcap as hell! I was crying with laughter. Martin's song about being a dentist is spot on, with the guy just personifying comic timing, and what lyrics!!
Audrey II looks cool, and the voice? Wow - "FEED ME!!".
Yep, this film is good, not amazing, but as I said, it does it's job. It entertains and passes the time.
7/10
Enjoy!
