little shop of horrors is on my list of all time favorite musicals and when i think of seymour, i ultimately think of rick and his portrayal of seymour. i think i’m drawn to this character because it so closely resembles the type of person i value most and having a visual representation of that is so comforting. rick plays this role so endearingly and i always find myself coming back to watch this movie because if never fails to make me smile, along with rick himself. this movie means so much to me especially regarding audrey's character as well, but it fits that rick would be playing seymour. this is my all time favorite role that he has portrayed. it really means the world to me. it’s really hard to express everything that it means to me but hopefully that gives a small understanding at least 🤍

i think this trilogy of movies and the character of wayne szalinski altogether is what makes this one of his top movies, at least for me. i always smile (especially in the second movie) at the way his character interacts with his children and i think rick did a phenomenal job of pulling it off. when amy presses her fingers to her lips and then to his is one of my favorite moments in those movies and will never fail to make me smile. another moment that sticks out to me is when he’s sitting on the steps with diane. that scene is so weirdly comforting to me and i’m not exactly sure why but it makes me feel so happy to watch it. i know this is already like really weird but that movie will always make me laugh, wether wayne is running from his wife in his van, or almost eating nick. 🤍

this is really a comedic youth movie, but i think rick did such a good job playing barney. he ended up dying his hair blonde, and as he said in an interview, “walked around in a dress.” for months. after watching it, i can’t imagine anyone else playing this role. i think it did such a good job showing the different types of acting that he’s capable of and a overall really funny movie, especially since rick took part in it. i don’t think i would’ve ended up watching this movie if rick hadn’t been in the cast, but i’m so glad he was because this movie is always there to make me laugh on a rainy day - another thing i love about watching movies that rick took part in 🤍

honestly rick in this movie is incredibly good. especially when he gets a little snappy.. ok rick!!! 💋💋 ok in all seriousness, it was really interesting to see his characters growth over the movie and how he developed towards “his”child as well. this role really showcases the talents of ricks acting and i think that’s a really special thing for a movie to have. i’ve watched this movie time and time over and especially with rick singing in the last part - it always makes me feel happy, a common denominator with all of his movies. this movie is a really good one for everyone to watch at least once <3

this movie is a classic and overall just really, really funny. the highlight in general is rick's acting and it’s a role that i will always remember, if nothing else. they must have had such a ball making that movie and just thinking about that makes me smile. all the actors who took part of that film are so incredibly talented. the fighting scene is definitely the best part of the movie and i’m laughing thinking about it right now : ) he brings me so much joy, especially in the hilariousness of that movie altogether.

rick's entrance as louis is one of my favorites out of all of his movies. i think it’s such a unique character that will always be remembered. i don’t have a very deep emotional connection to louis like i do seymour, but i thought this movie in general was so amazing and i’m so, so glad that this movie was made, especially with rick being able to take part in it🤍

despite my untimely forgetting of the name, i think rick played this character so well in this movie. i would honestly love him to teach me english and i think he played the part of a teacher so well. i love watching this movie over and over because i think it’s so funny how the plot progresses, the high speed chase.. everything about this movie is so charming and silly and it’s really important to me, along with all his other movies (despite my forgetting of the characters name IM SORRY)

despite all of his amazing movies, i think the thing i value most is his music. i don’t know what i would do without it. the music and lyrics and sound are all so uniquely him and what’s so important to me about his music is that it’s so obviously rick. i can find comfort in hearing his voice and smiling at his lyrics. i can have it close whenever i’m feeling down and i can always blast more upbeat songs of his when i’m happier! his music has benefited me so much over the months, weeks, days, and hours of my life and i can’t image what i would do without hearing his music each day. the comedy of his second album comes off as funny but also in a softer way, at least how i see it. it makes me feel “yellow” and that is something that i will always value. whatever happens, he’ll always be there, no matter what.
