She and I saw Hairspray on the plane back from Philly a few weeks ago, and as much as I wanted NOT to like it, I found it thoroughly enjoyable. Marsden was great as the Corny Collins (?) and John Travolta was as fun to watch as always.
Normally I’m a “24” type person.
Hairspray was just too happy for words. It runs continuously in my house with two “Zac” fans.
Now, Enchanted is like a trivia puzzle. For little girls, I heard tons of “I want to be Giselle!” walking out of the theater. For moms, it’s looking at the live action references to all the classics. Birds wrapping her in a towel or retying her bow type stuff. I think someone said there are 20 different scenes from the classics that were redone in live action. I caught more the second time than the first.
However, I have to say that I was happy my husband didn’t go with us for two reasons. First, he is pretty anti-disney and doesn’t know the classics like I do. Second, I could stare at Marsden and not have to worry about what he thought.
Hey, I’m allowed to look.
Definitely see it. You'll probably like it more than she will ... there are lots of inside jokes meant for humans rather than kids ... but she'll like it.
