Pretty Funny, good movie adaptation
Violence? Seriously? Seymour feeds Audrey II newspapers and a boot instead of chopped-up-dentist! There is zero gore in this movie. The most violent part involves off-screen sound effects. The sadistic dentist, played by Steve Martin, is hilarious. Even a little kid who didn't find the dentist funny would only find him mildly scary. And there isn't a ton of swearing either. By the way, a plant that sings the blues is, like steve martin being a sadistic dentist, funny NOT scary.

The play is better for kids, adults, and all audiences.
The original play was a brilliant tragicomedy (tragedy mixed with comedy). The movie follows the play rather closely, except with two major differences. 1. The movie tries to make the protagonist, Seymour Krelborne, look more sympathetic than in the play. 2. The movie has a standard Hollywood happy ending, while the play ended with Seymour getting his just desserts. The play, while creepy, was also brilliant. I'm a HUGE fan of the play. It made me laugh, cry, and shake in my seat, all in just 80 minutes plus intermission. The movie does not do the play justice. It takes the play, which was basically Faust set in an old B-movie, and warps it to the point where the entire message has been diluted into nothing. Thanks, Hollywood. A more depressing ending was filmed and shown to test audiences. The test audiences cried during it, so it was removed. Well, OF COURSE! That's the charm of the play! Not only do you laugh, but you ALSO cry! That's why it's so brilliant!

Not for kids who get scared easily.
I love the musical numbers and characters, but my 6 year old brother ran away in terror in the last scene with Audrey 2.

 
Kinda creepy musical
My little sisters watched this when they were 9, and they absolutely loved it! I was with them, and I was 12, and I was totally creeped out. The main character chops up another character to feed his plant. And the dentist freaks me out a lot too. He abuses laughing gas, and the song he sings is funny, but if a kid 7 or under hears a bit of it, they'll try and stay clear of the dentist for a long time.

 
Creepy, Violent Musical has Outstanding Musical Numbers!
This is a pretty good movie, but I would just buy the soundtrtack instead. You're not missing much if you skip the movie; in fact, the movie itself is quite creepy (granted, some songs are creepy) and violent; many characters are chopped up and one person adores inflicting pain (although he does a great musical number). The cast is good, yes, but it's not as funny as you might think, especially with Rick Moranis, Steve Martin, and Bill Murray in it. Now, the soundtrack/musical numbers: spectacular! I adore some of the songs in this movie. So, just buy the soundtrack and you'll be golden.

iffy for kids but anyone over 9 should watch it with not much problems
I personally loved it i found the DVD in my garage and watched it with my nephew whom is 6-years old and he absolutely loved it. I remember being scared in this movie as a kid. I think it's good if you'r kids can handle it there isn't too much violence in this movie no blood at all just the thoughts can be scary. Most of the sex and drugs in this movie are mild and will most likely fly past kids heads. The music and comedy is great i highly recommend this film

AWESOME!!!
This is a hilarious movie!!! I love Rick Moranis and Steve Martin! Great Cast! A FANTASTIC musical comedy!!! There is some off screen gore and the sadistic dentist is just kind of creepy. The plant uses bad language and Audrey wears provocative clothing, but it's really not that inappropriate.

Dark Comedy With Great Songs!
A Hilarious, but spooky comedy with a man-eating plant named Audrey II. Young children will be afraid of it, but teens up and will laugh when the plant opens his mouth. (Feed me!) Besides how many films do you have where plants sing, (except Veggie Tales)

Grew up on it, so kinda bias, but...
I grew up with a Music teacher mom, so I saw this movie pretty young, but watching it now, and thinking about having our kids (11 and 12) watch it is tough. we are very good about protecting them from tv/movies with language and sexual content and gore. For me, I have a bias opinion with this one because I love the music and movie because I grew up watching it a lot. I would say because of how outrageously fictional it is (huge man-eating plant, kinda corny in some spots) if you explain to your kids (at least 13) about the movie and what you expect them to watch but not repeat (both language and actions) it's a classic musical. From listening to the music from it again more lately, the plant REALLY has a foul mouth in it's songs, especially the last song of the movie, so be prepared for that, but I would still recommend it (again, kinda bias though)! :-) ~Derek

Not for younger kids, but perfect for teens
I thought it was a great movie, but the plant and the dentist had a lot of bad language. I know it's wrong to abuse drugs, but the dentist scene is so funny when he's high, even though it kills him. Some blood on Seymour's apron, some fake body parts get fed to the plant, it's perfectly fine for teenagers.

Words Can't Describe My Love For This Movie
I am in love with this movie. I love the play, too. A friend of mine and I are directing our own version of the play in which I am the voice of Audrey II, which is the evil plant. I can't wait! Anyway, This movie is creepy, but totally hilarious. Creepy humor is my sort of thing. It might be too scary for little kids, particularly the plant, but I know when I was watching it for the first time at age 8 I just thought the plant was funny. All the people I know love it. I say give it a try, you'll probably love it.

Amazing Music and Acting
This classic has amazing music and the story is good. I love musicals and found that this did not disappoint. However, Audrey does wear provocative clothing but most teenage girls wear less today. Audrey II has a pretty dirty mouth to say the least. The dentist (who is extremely funny and is steve martin) abuses Audrey on multiple occasions. The film may seem bloody and gory but you never really see much. Lets remember this movie was made like 20 years ago and the blood effects weren't amazing. The Audrey II effects are done realistically and done well. My brother who was 7ish when he saw it was terrified. I was 10ish and I found it amazing as I still do. Parents might want to watch it first but is a very good movie.

Anyone could tell you this isn't a kid's movie
I mean, come on, Audrey II uses words like Sh*t and A**. That alone is more than enough to give you the idea. Nonetheless, it's not too bad for teens. The goriest it really gets is showing an arm after a guy gets chopped up, but that's about it and you don't even see realistic-looking blood. I guess the only thing I can really say against this film (To explain the missing star) is that it can get too weird at times even for its own twisted interpretation of Skid Row. (Even if that is part of what makes it laugh-out-loud hilarious)
