Hairspray

I am so surprised that nobody has posted on this movie yet :o

i will be seeing it with the inlaws and family today. I just want to see JOgn Travolta as a woman.

Hopefully it won't be sickingly sweet :roll:

I saw the original many years ago with a fat Rikki Lake. It was very entertaining but I'm not sure why someone felt a remake was necessary.

I saw the remake...it was pretty good...not fond on John Travolta in the role though.

The only reason i am slightly interested is b/c the choreographer guest judged on SYTYCD!!!

"Wow, Todd, that's pretty highbrow..."
Well, we went and saw it yesterday! We sat down and it started playing, right off with a song. My hubby turns to me and says," Is this a muiscal?" !!!!! I laughed out loud. So he does happend to have a legit hearing problem and thought we were all going to see Harry Potter! He fell asleep on my shoulder oh, about 15 minutes into it :P

I didn't really like it. I did see Rikki Lake as one of the Agents in the audience, and i would have never placed that it you guys hadn't told me that she was in the orginal.

Ya so i would say one thumb up and one thumb dowm-i'm just not be big musical fan.

I have a question regarding John Travolta's part in the movie. First let me say I have not seen the movie yet. My question is what is the signifigants of John Travolta dressing/playing a woman in this film? Does a man usually play this part? I am just really curious.

Thank you in advance for any of your insight.
I saw the movie several weeks ago, and it was very cute. It wasn't gross, drag-queenish at all. John Travolta as the mom was actually pretty funny.

My mom told me that traditionally that part is always played by a man (in the broadway performance). He does a good job in it. Hairspray is one of those feel-good movies and you'll leave feeling warm fuzzies. :)
