Hairspray 1988

I love this movie!

Entertaining but not as enjoyable as the remake. The remake had better songs, including the very moving marching song.

Divine was excellent in the dual roles.

A delightful musical. Entertaining from beginning to end, even if you don't know John Waters, although you will appreciate it more if you are an admirer of this director's work. Very much afraid to see the remake.

I am a big fan of the remake and hoped that I'd like this just as much, but unfortunately I didn't. Firstly I didn't realise it was a musical which was a major disappointment when 40 minutes in I was wondering where the songs were (and for a film with an amazing cast of singers eg. Debbie Harry, it would have made sense to let them sing!) Just didn't have as much life as the remake.
