A New Can of Hairspray

Well, Hollywood has gone and done it again. They've re-made another great movie. This time the victim is Hairspray. The wonderful 1988 cult hit starring Divine and Rikki Lake now stars John Travolta and newcomer Nikki Blonsky. Check out the Synopsis.

I fell in love with this movie when I first saw it over a decade ago. The whole idea of a plus-sized teenager becoming the most popular girl in school really got to me. Put that together with fashion from my favorite period in history, the '60s, and it's Hit City, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not sure if the 2007 version will make me feel the same way but, judging from the trailer, it looks pretty good:

If anyone sees the movie, let me know how you like it. If I see it, I'll be sure to post a review.

Enjoy the weekend!
