I'm not sure I know where to begin with this.
Having been to the theatre on several occasions to see this in London in the early 90s, I mistakenly thought that a filmed version, with a bigger budget and ability to edit, would make it even more outrageous and glorious. With diabolical miming and lacklustre performances to choreography that a kindergartener might be proud of, the whole thing is total and utter bilge. And what the hell is that accent, Laverne? It reminds me of a high-school performance, only it's less charming and far more amateur.
I'm astonished that Richard O'Brien gave his blessing for this travesty - for that is precisely what it is. It lacks any of the sense of fun and whimsy of the stage or previous screen performances and if you are a traditionalist when it comes to Rocky Horror, I implore you to avoid this at all costs.
