Not my cup of tea. I didn't like any of the musical numbers or much of the comedy. Putting Rick Moranis and Ellen Greene in the lead roles seemed like a mistake to me; as nice as they are, they're pretty uninspiring. Listening to Moranis try to sing was like getting a root canal from the sadistic dentist character (an Elvis-inspired Steve Martin). My favorite scene was when one of his masochistic patients (Bill Murray) actually wants the pain; his reactions are as if he's getting laid in the chair. I was less enamored with the "humor" of Martin's character beating Greene's and Moranis judging her for it. For all the style that went into the design of the carnivorous plant, I didn't think much went into the plot, but I liked the (restored) ending.
