Do your research! - Hairspray Reviews

I have not seen the movie yet, but I have been waiting for 2 years for this to come out! My comment is to those people who 1. Believe this is a remake 2. Say Waters sold out 3. That this is white man (bigot) movie. 1. This is NOT a remake. Before you start claiming that you know something, you should do some research. The 1988 movie was an original idea. The movie was such a hit, that the idea was to make it in to a broadway hit. And it has been for many years and will be for many to come. I was able to see it on its travelling tour. Being a fan of the movie, I knew I would love the musical. The musical is better than the movie. Then from this hit, a screenwriter decided to take the best of the two and combine it to make a screen version OF THE MUSICAL! This is not a remake of the original movie. 2. John Waters did not sell out. He has been on board with this project from the beginning. 3. This is not a racist movie. It is a historical piece. No matter how much we hate it, this stuff happened. This is about how being different can be a good thing. The title character, Tracy, is an overweight dancer on a tv show and wants it to be integrated. She wants positive change. So you should be excited that this character is wanting change and impacting all people, of all colors and sizes. In closing, please don't be quick to judge something that you do not know anything about! That is what this movie is all about!!!
