    well for one, it's a musical. two, one of the main characters is a gay retarded frankenstein. three, it's a musical with bad songs. four, the plot is that a couple goody two-shoes get a flat tire and they just happen to stumble upon an alien tranny mad scientist who has made a gay retarded frankenstein that he's so proud of. shenanigans ensue. the tranny alien flees to transylvania to avoid repercussions of a murder.

      I have nothing against musicals, myself. I will watch RENT and cry almost any day. But RHPS is just... Dumb! It's not funny, it doesn't have good songs, and it's not even in "so bad it's good" territory! I just don't get the appeal.

      Maybe if I were to go to a midnight showing with the audience participation and everything, I would get sucked in to the fervor, but I just don't see myself actually doing that.

        Speaking of musicals......
        A couple years back I decided to pick a random "hockey" movie out of a pool of about 5-6 other movies. Ended up drawing Score, of course I didn't know it was a musical so I went ahead and started watching it. The goal was to watch whatever movie to the end. I was not impressed!

          ... A hockey musical? That's a thing?!

      Four words. Susan Sarandon In Panties.

      Your argument is invalid.

      Aww, who am I kidding. It's not high cinema. It's a goofy movie. I did enjoy the sound track quite a bit. Been 20 years since I've seen it. I very well could have a far different reaction to it now.

        yeah, and Marie Antoinette had Kirsten Dunst naked but that didn't save the movie.

        the problem is my wife LOVES RHPS so I've seen it several times (unwittingly all but once). It still makes no sense.
