Hairspray

I recently saw the 2007 version of Hairspray. It has a great cast, lot's of fun singing and dancing, and a good story. But for some reason I just couldn't get interested.

I had the DVD in the player and I'd watch a few minutes and shut if off and do something else. Then a day or two later I'd do the same thing. It actually took me a couple of weeks to watch the whole thing.

I don't know why. It was enjoyable. It just didn't engage me. I really just can't recommend this movie, even though I can't point to any particular flaw in it.
