The most intelligent movie released in July to date - Hairspray
While numerous people lined up to pick up a book at midnight, I got to attend a midnight screening of Hairspray - and wow, the movie was really good. I could write up a detailed review, and was tempted to do that, but I want to go outside and enjoy a bit of the rare sunshine. So read this review instead - it's a rare example of a Toronto Star movie critic's review which I completely agree with.
The music, the stars, the fact that a good friend is an extra in the production which was filmed in my neighbourhood. So many reasons to go enjoy it. Go see it now.
