Watched the movie Hairspray, here are my thoughts.
Despite the fact that this movie has single handedly destroyed at least half of the ozone layer it had a great message. While this film would be officially considered a musical, I’d like to submit the genre “dancical” as equally appropriate. There was a severe amount of singing and of dancing, which reaffirm my maxim that life should be a musical—er—dancical. Life, however, will never be so bright; while I don’t hesitate to sing and dance at the smallest whim or provocation, I do not foresee ever having a trio of backup singers. Alas, I will survive, not because I can, but because I must. And who knows, perhaps one day, I’ll either be rich enough to buy a set of backup singers or smart enough to con my kids to do it. A man can dream.
