	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Adam Smith Empire	"The powerhouse of the film is Tim Curry's cross-dressing alien, Frank N. Furter, who would never reach these kinds of gloriously demented heights again. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Ty Burr Boston Globe	"'Rocky Horror' continues to charm. That's due in part to the honest delight we take in the freedoms this movie so cheerfully flaunts."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times	"It's cheerful and silly, and kind of sweet, and forgettable. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	NEU
