:) You get my upvote! It's an underrated movie.

It's actually a very intelligent movie. Some of the acting could be better, but most of the acting is great.

I would not rate either movie is better. From your comment, it sounds like you may not have seen the original. It is a really good movie! It is darker, funnier, and more thought provoking. However, it does not have the production polish of the Frank Oz film for obvious reasons. The comedy in the original is quite dry, so do not watch it with any expectations.

In my opinion, one thing that makes the Frank Oz film great is that it is so very different. Please just give the Corman film a chance.

If you have never seen the Roger Corman film, do yourself a favor and watch it. I love the Frank Oz musical, and that film is loaded with talent. However, in my opinion, Corman's film is both funnier and more interesting.

No discredit to Frank Oz, who his a brilliant polymath!
