  • Watch the original instead, it's better

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By Chibi (5 reviews) from Southport , 10 Mar 2013
    Boring, too many songs and not enough character development. For someone so determined to dance on a telly show, the film fails to show the fact that Tracy has actual talent for dancing and that she isn't just making the most of it to be a famous star. John Travolta was good as her mother, but there's something a bit jarring about the accent he puts on. James Marsden is easily the best of the cast. Zac Efron's was nothing more than a pretty face who was the teen heart throb of the year, his character is one dimensional and his acting is wooden.

    Great cast of course and there are a couple of cameo appearances from the original movie.

    Great songs, will have you wanted to refresh your twist moves right then and there!

    John Travolta looks a bit ridiculous and resembles a Cabbage patch dolls, if anyone remembers them (really ugly dolls!) but the film is more the funny because of that!

    Enjoy!

    Great performances, average songs. Foot tapping stuff.

    Very enjoyable if musicals are your thing.

    Mind you, The Little Shop of Horrors remains my favourite of this genre.
