Movie Reviews of Hairspray
Movie Review: A let-down...
Summary: 1 Stars
I will admit that we saw the new theater version before we saw this original, so that my have tainted our thoughts, but my family of five felt this was slow. It had some funny parts, but they were few and far between. It had a good message, but it was a bit jumbled and not very clear. I don't want to compare it to the new, musical version, but it's hard not too. I read all the reviews talking about all the dancing and the music. We didn't find the music memorable. There are some good dance scenes, but not enough to outweigh the rest of the film. It's well-done as far as the acting, but it's not very well written. I did appreciate the positive reviews that mentioned stories about the actual television show and growing up in Baltimore. That gave me a little more understanding about the background and I really appreciated that. I just have to say that I think the newest version is everything the original was, but a lot more. More dancing, more fun, more colorful. We were hoping and expecting to enjoy this original version a lot more than we did.
