Last night we met Devin, Jimmy, and the kids for dinner and a movie. Dave, Jimmy, Hayden, and Landon went to Ratatouille, while the girls went to Hairspray. I vividly remember the original 1988 Jon Waters film with Ricki Lake, Divine, Sonny Bono, and Debbie Harry. Luckily, my aunt Lesa turned me on the the film. There are scenes from the original film that didn't make it into the new film, but I can see how those wouldn't transfer well onto the stage. I've ordered a copy of the original to share with Devin and the girls. We had a great time at the movies. Keaton was beside herself with excitement about the movie. I've never been to someone that enthusiastic about a movie. She danced in her seat throughout the movie. Peyton was a perfect baby, sleeping through the entire film.
It's so nice to have girls to see movies with!
We had so much fun! We must do it again sometime.
ReplyDeleteThe original movie of Hairspray was on TV the other day--I had forgotten that there was another movie. I didn't get to see more than the first 15 minutes, but I'll have to look for it on DVD. Anxious to see the John Travolta version--it looks like it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI was really ticked off when I heard they were re-making Hairspray, but since it gets your stamp of approval, I might check it out. Bridget and Tessa have watched and loved the original; every time they see the ad for the new one, they say they want to go see it. I might have to break down and take them . . .
