just wondering whether anyone has seen the remake of hairspray with michelle phieffer, john travolta, queen latifah and amanda bynes and if so is it any good, seeing as it is coming out in the UK in a week's time. thanks

We (The U.S.) haven't seen it yet. It dosen't come out unti July 20,2007. It looks like a good movie, and I plan to see it.

If anyone really cares the soundtrack for the movie came out today and it was wicked good. I think if the movie is as good as the soundtrack it will be really good.

I can't wait to see the movie.

Another of my if anyone cares Myspace is right now streaming live interviews at the premire of Hairspray.

do any of the actors actually sing on the soundtrack, or are there actual singers and bands who sing renditions of the songs that are in the film?

that's interesting to hear. i will be looking forward to listening to the vocals of travolta, queen latifah, bynes and phieffer. although most of the main cast have had some previous singing/musical experience in one form or the other. likewise, travolta in Grease, latifah in chicago and as a old skool rap artist and phieffer in the fabulous baker boys

LOL@John Travolta playing a woman in Hairspray hahahahahahahahahaha. He's lost his mind.

Here's a link to the Hairspray Blog it has a bunch of articles, interveiws and other stuff relating to Hairspray http://www.hairspraymovie.com/blog/.

i think the movie hairspray looks pretty interesting but i can wait til it comes out on dvd like the other movies.im not really into going to the movies these days no matter how good the movie looks

I just got back from watching Hairspray in theaters and I loved it. It was really good and even my friend who hate musicals loved it.

I went and saw it last night. The theatre in my town sold out every show. It was amazing. I absolutely loved it. I'm definitely planning on seeing it again. Its a definite winner!

the DVD comes out on November 20th, anyone else planning on getting it?

i am. from the reviews i have read from viewers it sounds like a hoot :)

See...my Avatar! (Why else would I select it!) And my signature!:D

Saw it starting 7/22/07 and saw it again four more times.

It was ok but no-where near as good as the original, but remakes never are i guess. I just wanted to see john travolta in a dress lol!!

The 2007 movie was more of a reimagining, than a remake, IMO. They used the outline of the John Waters film, but put their own spin on it. I thought it was a fun movie. I'm probably going to buy it.

But if you feel the need to compare the 2, I agree that the original was better. It just had a different feel to it. That's a great Cult movie that seems timeless.

And Mikado, you just don't like it because it came out after 1957.

The movie version is great, but it pales in comparison to the Broadway version. John Travolta is no comparison the the Broadway Edna. But anyway, yeah I'm definitely going to buy the DVD.

i have seen the john walters original when it was on tv a couple of years ago and thought it was really great and when i read there was going to be a remake of it, i didn't have any actual qualms about it. i have yet to purchse it though on dvd still and yet the casing in the 2007 version of hairspray was kinda impressive in its own right
