Hairspray

I finally got to see Hairspray (it just came out on Friday) and it was fantastic! I had seen the broadway musical live this past March and I was expecting it to be different. They didn't use all the songs (and Will was disappointed for his song not showing up) and there were some scenes that didn't happen in the musical. I wished that certain characters had a few more scenes, but you have to condense it for the interest of the movie-goer.

I haven't yet seen the 1988 original film which the broadway musical was based on, so I can't compare the two movies to each other.

I thought it was very colourful and there were lots of stars in it. There were even a few small parts to people who were in the original film: Ricki Lake & Jerry Stiller.

It was a very light-hearted movie with a strong message and I was trying very hard not to sing along. I'm sure the people beside me wouldn't have appreciated that.
