Summary: Feeling groovy? Then this is for you!
Comment: I first saw The Rocky Horrow show in the theater at the midnight showings with other fans and it was an amazing experience. I was hooked from the start. The music is the first thing that gets you. It is fantastic! The cast is electric, especially Tim Curry as Frank-n-Furter. His singing is superb and his facial expressions are just too funny!
People are not supposed to take this movie seriously. It is simply poking fun at B-movies and old sci-fi flicks mixed with sexual inuendos and gender-bending. I personally think it's a great mixture (and I'm as straight as they come) and guarantees fun for all. I was lucky enough to see The Rocky Horror Show live on stage last night and it was wonderful. The audience participation is second to none. Go and experience it if you can, but buy the film first so you know what to expect and then you must buy the soundtrack and turn the sound up loud! You won't be able to help singing along and dancing. Let your hair down and enjoy it!

Summary: Wonderful Movie!!
Comment: This is a great movie. It is a bit weird, but I love it. I can't wait to get the DVD. I had bought the VHS for my aunt for Christmas. My aunt introduced me to this wonderful movie. For those of you who have not seen it, I suggest renting it right now. I have already rented it twice, in less than two weeks. It is that great.

Summary: "Let's Do the Timewarp"
Comment: "Rocky Horror Picture Show" is one of the best cult classics of it's time.
Originally this movie started out at a play over in Europe staring a small cast of characters and a very dedicated audience.. Then one day the play director (you will see him as rif raff) decided that he wanted to pass this truelly magnificient gift on to others.. Thus was born "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".. When it first came out it bombed badly.. So Bad that it was taken out of the theatres faster then it was placed in them..
Then one night a group of people went to a theatre manager and asked that Rocky be played at midnight.. and WHAM!! The craze was born.. and the shows went on..,.
What is all the excitement you ask? Simple.. this movie is a fun spoof on all those olde sci-fi movies that featured outerspace creatures, sex, and strange going on's.. With the excitment of a full broadway musical with such songs as "Dammit Janet", "Time Warp", "Sweet Transvestite" and many many many more songs that lend to the whole ambience of the film..
The acting is not the best but, is carried of quite well by Tim Curry (Dr. Frank-N-Furter), and Susan Sherandon (Janet)..
And if you are trying to find the best version of the film to get make sure you get the ones that feature the deleted scenes and the alternate endings.. You will wonder why they ever took them out..

Summary: Rosetint my World
Comment: I recommend this movie for anyone who every now and then feels like just laughing and letting themselves go. Rocky Horror Picture Show is truly senseless, but still one of the best I've seen. Mr. Tim Curry does an excellent job. His unique accent and some of his various gestures really gives his character a boost. I must admit that they cast the part of Frank-n-Furter perfectly when they chose him. Knowing how Susan Sarandon is today, I could hardly picture someone as uptight as her walking around in her "unmentionables" and playing such a off-key part. I barely recognized Barry Boswick, for I am so used to seeing him in Spin City, several Lifetime movies, etc. The one and only complaint I have for the movie is that from what I hear, when performed in a theatre, the character of rocky horror is much more masculine looking. I mean, I know he was supposed to look like a transexual, but the actor who played Rocky appeared so scrawny, sure he had muscle, but still scrawny. But nonetheless, this itself does not take away from this timeless film. The songs are wonderful, days after I watch the film I still find myself humming "toucha toucha touch me," "fanfare/don't dream it," or even " eddy's teddy." All together I believe this movie is a must see. Ignore some of the more negative things you've heard about it and give it a try. You'll be extrememly glad you did!
