The first time I saw this was in L.A. It was at midnight, and the theater was filled with patrons who were dressed in the various characters costumes from the movie. Inside the theater we experienced more fun with the sale of "Virgins". The sale refers to new viewers to Rocky Horror Picture Show. When the movie started there were people in the front next to the screen acting alongside. People in the audience were yelling back in unison to the actors dialogue on the screen. Water, toast, rice and various other inanimate items were used to enhance the experience of the movie. The people with me were laughing as hard as I was through all the stuff going on. I loved it. I had seen it a few more times at various midnight shows throughout the years. Most of the time it was wonderful. But when I saw it at home a year ago I did not have that same feeling, I saw it for the first time with out all the outside enhancements. I finally realized that the movie was really not that good, It had some good songs and some funny characters, but the movie is not that great. It is simple and sometimes almost moronic. In all, This movie MUST be seen with all the extra enhancements to really enjoy it. In the right movie theater, It is a 10. At home it is around a 5.5.
