Leave your thoughts about The Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again.
| Hollywood ReporterDan FienbergTRHPS: LDTTWA suffers from suffocating staging and an utter lack of reflection on the source material -- but also from the source material itself, as what little energy it possesses is gone by a second half that turns into a real slog. |
| TV InsiderMatt RoushThe remake quickly begins to lose steam in a static frenzy of clumsy direction and confused editing. By the end, it's all a hot-though perhaps not hot enough-mess. |
| Entertainment WeeklyMarc SnetikerThe decision to movie-ize the event pays off primarily in its showcasing of the production's vibrant and vivid design, and its allowance of both cast and director the opportunity to finesse their choices. |
| NPRDavid BianculliThe new star is Laverne Cox, the transgender star of Netflix's Orange Is the New Black, and she's fabulous. She looks great, she sounds great, and she salutes Curry's performance while adding her own touches, vocally and otherwise. |
| Winnipeg Free PressBrad OswaldIt's a brilliant casting coup, as Cox... proves herself to be a legitimate triple threat, effectively singing, dancing and sneering her way through the film's many over-the-top musical numbers. |
| AV ClubEsther ZuckermanThe Rocky Horror purists will (and should) certainly turn their noses up at this sanitized Hot Topic version. |
| Paste MagazineMichael SnydelDo the Time Warp Again is hopelessly caught in the middle between the glossiness of high-budget stage musicals and the demented, anything-goes camp of the film. |
| CNN.comBrian LowryEven if the movie doesn't live up to the anticipation, there's a kick in reentering this time warp. And while it's not a fresh take, as Frank-N-Furter might say, that isn't all bad. |
| Refinery29Molly HoranThe line-for-line remake doesn't quite capture the magic of the original, but the special does pull off a few notable improvements. |
| Tor.comEmily Asher-PerrinA TV-14 rated version of Rocky Horror was bound to send up red flags no matter how you spun it. |
