HAIRSPRAY

HAIRSPRAY 1. YOU ARE IN COMA 2. YOUR RESERVE UNIT HAS BEEN CALLED UP TO SERVE IN IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN 3. YOU MUST GIVE THE EULOGY FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND 4. YOUR ONLY CHILD IS GETTING MARRIED 5. BILL GATES WANTS TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT A VICE PRESIDENCY AT MICROSOFT 6. YOU MUST LEAVE FOR SWEDEN TO ACCEPT YOUR NOBEL PRIZE -- THESE ARE JUST ABOUT THE ONLY SIX REASONS I CAN THINK OF FOR MISSING "HAIRSPRAY." IT OPENS WITH A BLAST AND NEVER COMES BACK TO EARTH. THE CAST IS JUST INCREDIBLE - THE MOVIE IS JUST INCREDIBLE. WOW ! I FEEL LIKE I AM CHEATING ON MY GIRLFRIEND. I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO PLACE ANOTHER CONTEMPORARY MUSICAL ON THE SAME LEVEL WITH DREAMGIRLS, BUT I THINK I HAVE TO WITH HAIRSPRAY. I FELT THIS MOVIE CLICKED ON EVERYTHING IT TRIED TO DO -- IT MADE THE CAMPY STUFF WORK AND IT MADE THE SERIOUS STUFF WORK. ONE METHOD TO TELL IF A MOVIE WAS GOOD, IS TO ASK YOURSELF WHAT COULD BE DONE TO IMPROVE IT ------ I CAN'T THINK OF HOW THIS FILM COULD HAVE BEEN ANY BETTER. I HAVE A STANDING CAVEAT -- DON'T GO TO WAR MOVIES IF YOU HATE VIOLENCE - DON'T GO TO MUSICALS IF YOU DISLIKE DANCING AND SINGING AS PART OF THE STORY LINE. TO QUOTE MEDICAL SCIENCE -- IF IT HURTS WHEN YOU DO THIS- DON'T DO THIS.
