How Can You Not Like This Movie???


How? How?
I just can't grasp how.

I suppose die-hards of the original and the broadway dislike it because it's not exact. which to me, is unfair. and then some people just don't like musicals. which is downright silly :D

reply

True I havent seen the origional but I want to.
My friend doesnt like musicals but shes wierd

sorry but I hated it;
please watch the original so you can compare the two.
I do'n't dislike musicals, but in this particular movie the main thing I didn't like was the absence of the sound of the 60s, like swinging rock and roll music from those years; everything was replaced by the usual format of Hollywood musical songs.
At least they could have given the musical songs, a rock & roll sixties sound, instead of the same musical sound in every single musical ever produced.
But I would have liked it more if you could hear Chubby Checker with the Twist, or other hits from the sixties, that really gave you that sixties feeling like in the original.

In other words, you would have prefered a jukebox musical. You're entitled to your opinion, but on a personal level, I'm glad you didn't handle the music for the play or this movie.

My little girl loves this film but I'm getting a just a little tired of it as she'll watch it over and over if she can! Any film with Zac Efron is simply called Troy to her, so when she wants to see Hairspray she just says "peez (please) Troy?" (she's 3). Then she'll dance her way through the whole film!

I completly agree... this movie was so freaking cute, I get a toothache just watching it. Plus, HUGE eye candy like James Mardsen and Zac Efron? Come on!

I'm fabulous

I can EASILY understand why people don't like it.. People have different tastes, you know?

But I liked it anyway. :)

It is not sh!t..let's go to a current mvoie also with early 1960s civil rights setting, "THe Help". now on the Sh!t subject...Paradox..would you like Hilly Holbrook's pie?

Not too bright are you?

You do understand there is a difference between portrayal of racism and condoning racism right?

Okay, good.
