fantastic movie, but not for everyone.
you really need to be open minded, and allow yourself to get into it.
also, on the aniversary dvd there are special features for newbies (like me) that warn you what to expect from all the cult followers when you see it in the theatre.
also, keep in mind that it was made in the 70's (75 i think) and was REALLY risque for that time

It's quite odd and extremely offbeat. Remember that the studio had it filmed then shelved it for a while, distressed that they had made a major error. Instead, it has become the longest-running feature film.
Is it a good movie? Actually, it's not in many ways. But, it is worthwhile seeing. It's like "Plan 9 from Outer Space" in that you can say that you have experienced it, whether you join the cult following or not. The bravest person in the cast is Barry Bostwick. Remember that commercial in which people kept peeling off layers of disguises? In one, a silver-haired man is revealed, announcing himself as Barry Bostwick, and they all ask, "WHO?!" Hey! That's Brad in one of the biggest cult movies of all times! Why is he brave? Well, Tim Curry running around in lingerie is average in this film. When Susan Sarandon does it, it's no big surprise. Then, Barry does it! Now THAT is brave!
Watch the film "Fame". In it, several students go to see this film, surrounded by all of the interactive types. It's a lot of fun to see it, even if you don't get to one of those theaters.

Campy, cool and weird. see it at a theater with friends on Halloween. Otherwise you won't get the "whole show"
If you go try this site first to tell you what to bring.

It also makes a great theme for a really wild party. Rent the video Call twenty friends and your off!
My two favorite songs from the movie are "The Time Warp" and " I can make you a man"
Enjoy!

It's a good movie-very creative with an early appearance by Meatloaf. I've seen it a few times....the camaraderie with other fans is great! And it's a lot of fun...

It relies upon on the theatre. diverse places have diverse audiences and diverse customs for the overall performance. See if the theatre has a internet site -- that permit you already know what their instruct is like.
