Hairspray
Posted on July 11, 2007
Hi Gang….as a member in good standing of the Screen Actors Guild, I had the opportunity yesterday to see a screening of the new movie HAIRSPRAY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LOVED LOVED IT.
I have always been a fan of the John Waters version with Ricki Lake and Divine….and when it came to Broadway, I must admit that I had some trepidation with how it could possibly adapt. Well, needless to say I loved this version too.
BUT…the best one yet is this. Run….do not walk…to the movie theater!!!!
Every woman of girth, I feel, owes it to themselves to see this film. It is fun, inspiring, uplifting and just a wonderful experience for every single one of us who has ever felt badly about ourselves because of the prejudice that exists out there.
John Travolta is Fantastic!!! Michelle Pfeiffer and Amanda Bynes…perfectly evil (how great is it to have heroines that are plus sized and the boos are earmarked for the perfect blondes!!! YAY) Christopher Walken, always perfect in the roles he plays….James Marsden as Corny exhilirating…Zac Efron as cute as can be ( he is my newest heartthrob other than Brad Pitt, and my beloved husband Steven!!! LOL) Latifah…stunning
BUT HERE’S to the star…Nikki Blonsky…who brings Tracy Turnblad to life again with such zest and sparkle in her eye that I just wanted to hug her and everyone sitting around me in the theater.
Go…grab a soda….an extra large and buttered bag of popcorn and enjoy these two hours. We deserve them!!!
