Hairspray the musical has come to the big screen. You can visit the official website
HERE.
Go see it, damn it.
John Travolta is no Divine, but he is tolerable. I really liked the movie, especially when the queen herself - Queen Latifa - sang my new personal anthem "Big Blond and Beautiful". It seemed like this version is a little more focused on body image issues instead of racial integration and equality.
(I think that made me love it even more!)
Judging by the cameos of both Ricki Lake and his holiness Mr John Waters, the new hairspray seems to be supported by all the original folks. You can't beat the first one, but this one is definitely worth checking out. Hell, I might even break down and buy the soundtrack.
