It's certainly no cinematic masterpiece, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show is, in my opinion, hugely enjoyable. It definitely helps if you are in on the joke and no Richard O'Brien intended it to send up the overly serious dialogue and unintentional humour in science fiction films from the 1950s, '60s and '70s.
Like you say, as The Rocky Horror Show with an audience wearing any combination of lab coats, stockings, suspenders, garter belts, Basques, boob tube and hot pants, French maids outfits, ill fitting suits and bald caps, many carrying water pistols, confetti, torches etc., it takes some beating for an evening's entertainment!
