Little Shop is the story of Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis), a nebbishy orphan raised by a nearly bankrupt Skid Row florist, Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia). Seymour spends each day slaving away in Mushnik's shop, kept alive by his two loves: botany and Audrey (Ellen Greene), the dipsy platinum blonde store clerk. One day Seymour buys a mysterious plant from a Chinese merchant--a plant we later learn has come from outer space with intent to conquer the world...
Little Shop's Faustian dilemma emerges when the plant wants something in return: blood. Named "Audrey II" by Seymour in honor of his dreamboat, the wisecracking, ghetto-smart plant (whose booming voice is performed by Levi Stubbs of the Four Tops) bellows "Feed me!" to the cringing Krelborn. How he deals with this unusual request is the problem of Little Shop...
Moranis, who does his own singing, is superb as the credulous Krelborn, and featured bit players Bill Murray, John Candy and Christopher Guest walk through their roles with the workmanlike competence we've come to expect...
...Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis) is a skid row nerd, languishing in Mushnik's Flower Shop. He loves the tramp goddess Audrey (Ellen Greene), but she too willingly suffers the bondage and discipline of the notorious Orin Scrivello, D.D.S. (Steve Martin). Not until Seymour strikes a Faustian bargain with a talking plant he calls Audrey II does our hero find the girl of his dreams. And the killer vegetation of his most festering nightmares...
