A while ago I saw (finally) the remake of Hairspray, one of the movies that I like one of my favorite directors: John Waters.
While the film has changes quite "superficial" (to put it in some way) as the main event is to be "Miss lacquer" and not because "Miss Auto Show, the elimination of the character of Amber's father ( who played Sonny Bono in the original) or the changing role of Mr. Stiller (better known as George Constanza's dad) who now is not the father of Tracy, but the owner of a clothing store for "strong girls" , I must say that I was entertained and really liked.
Director Adam Shankman has managed to change certain things without being disrespectful to the original version even has the luxury of having John Waters performing a few seconds (as exhibitionist) at the beginning.
not only got a good atmosphere (of truth leads us to the early 60) but found in the great creator Marc Shaiman musical he needed for a film of this type.
addition, respected the main theme of the film, which was the racial integration, not to mention that also included an actor for the role of Tracy's mother, with John Travolta in charge to replace the large transvestite (and championed by John Waters) Divine.

The weakest point is perhaps the performance of Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma Von Tussie and Zac Efron as Link, who are very opcadas next to the good performances of Travolta Queen Latifah, Elijah Kelley and Nikki Blonski (not weighed him having to replace a young Ricki Lake). I consider
Hairspray (of the 88) and this remake as a movie missed.
Grease If you never liked because it was silly, the music did not make sense and because the characters were (too) stupid, can not miss Hairspray, not only has a very interesting post (and that ultimately makes hitting a stone chest with pride with a smile on the face) but has very good songs and excellent choreography.
What are you waiting for?
