Bewertung von fury21
The original Hairspray is a cult classic. So when I heard a new version was to hit our screens this year, I was a little dubious. I was then informed the source material was not the original movie, but the Broadway show which draws it's inspiration from the movie.
So straight away, we can throw away our preconceptions of the movie, because we know we're going to be seeing something completely different to the original.
The movie opens with the fabulous "Good Morning Baltimore" performed wonderfully by the movies Tracy Turnblad, Nikky Blonsky. Ricki Lakes portrayal of Tracy is top class, so to try and top that is a challenge for sure, and Nikki accepts and succeeds brilliantly. There's a wonderfully endearing sense of naivety about Tracy, so you completely relate to her, as many of us, i'm sure, have experienced the sort of things she has.
John Travolta had a lot to prove as Edna Turnbland (played originally by the late and great Divine). I thought he did an excellent job. Although it was like watching a fat Danny from grease prancing around in a dress.. but it made me smile.
Queen Latifah had me shaking my booty when she stormed up for a sexy "Big, Blonde & Beautiful" number. Michelle Pffiefer was perfect as the racist and down right nasty Velma Von Tussle, with the sweet Brittany Snow as her equally nasty daughter. Younger viewers familiar with the "High School Musical" craze will drool themselves into delight with Zac Efron as the teen heartthrob Link Larkin. I could go on all day about how great everyone was... Amanda Bynes.. Elijah Kelly.. Christopher Walken...
The sets were magnificently camp and nostalgic. Lots of bright colours and big hair. The dance routines were energetic, and the music.. i've never been so eager to get a movies soundtrack. All the songs are so cheerful and upbeat, you can't help but smile and tap you're feet. The ending number "You Can't Stop The Beat" gives me goosebumps every time I hear it, and it's just so...happy! It's a great laugh, the musical numbers are brilliantly choreographed and pulled off, and it's just a real feel good movie. I urge you go and see this, because I'm sure that you will become addicted like me too..
