I'm tooling around on a few of my favorites, and I come across something very disturbing - think the Cialis commercial, but more terrifying. The movie-turned-Broadway-production-turned-movie-again Hairspray is being released this summer, and I just came from the website. John Travolta and Christopher Walken are portraying Edna and Wilber Turnblad, parents of the film's main character, Tracy Turnblad.
I am sorry to say that although the movie looks promising, I don't think that I am going to like it because of Travolta in a fat suit. For the life of me, I can't see anybody in that role other than Harvey Firestein (he made the Broadway production sizzle). I will have to say that the movie's saving grace will more than likely be Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle. She totally rocks!
