Hairspray - The Movie
 

Anyone see it? I thought it was fun.

Twice. And I have the soundtrack more or less memorized.

:laugh: :laugh:

i have not seen it yet but i want to.

I saw it last night with my best friend Patrick and my hottie Bobby. We all loved it. So cute!!

So..Is Bobby your boyfriend?? Did you like Travolta?

Bobby is one of about five guys that I see. I was in a 9 year relationship that ended 18 months ago, so I am having a blast being single. But Bobby is a real sweetheart -- funny as **** and great in bed. We have a good time.

Travolta was funny but that weird accent bothered me at some points. You know who I really loved? Michelle Pfeiffer! She was hilarious.
After the movie, we were all talking about how cool it would have been to have had a Corny Collins show in our city when we grew up. That would have been awesome.

on edit: Penny Pinkelton was FABULOUS! LOL

Yea..The accent was an odd choice I thought. Penny was great!
Michelle was really good too. A 9 year relationship is a long time.
Glad to hear you are having fun. You deserve it. :p
Loved Allison "Devil Child, Devil Child!" Janney!!!

There were a few good parts, but overall I didn't love it. I did think Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher Walken were great though.

I forgot about Walken -- wasn't he great???
It's a cute summer musical. It's like GREASE to me -- sing a long songs and tons of lines that you can quote with your friends. Perfect fluff.

He really was. Then again I've never seen him in anything that I didn't like. I even liked him in that god awful Stepford Wives remake.

I read that he was trying to do a Baltimore accent ("I'm tryna orn" = "I'm trying to iron"). But as someone who grew up in Maryland, I have never, ever heard that accent. Maybe that accent is native to Closetland :eek: :lol: .

Yes I did!

Really? In the ads I thought it sounded kinda Minnesota-ish, but what do I know.

ANYWAY, I loved the first one, and Travolta will probably be the thing that keeps me away from this one. Has anyone else noticed how much they were pushing him in the TV ads at first, and now it seems they don't show him at all? :lol:

The MN accent is bad, but it's not THAT bad. I don't know what the hell Travolta was going for. :laugh:

Walken and Bette owned.

I am resisting seeing this movie just because I love the original movie so much. I'll probably see it once it hits BB.

I LOVED this movie. and I dont usually like musicals. I want to go see it again, and Ill probably buy the soundtrack when i get some extra cash on my itunes account! Nikki Blonski [sp?] was great, and I loved that she was a noname before the movie. John Travolta in drag=too funny.

Id say this is my new favortie movie :D
