It's gonna end up in my Netflix queue unless someone who appreciates musicals wants to go see it with me.

I felt like it has been done twice already, why do they need to do it again so soon? But I guess the original movie was almost 20 years ago. I remember it so vividly that it doesn't seem that long ago.
As much as I love
Hairspray 1988 and the musical, this new version didn't appeal to me because of Travolta. I am afraid I will just roll my eyes and groan whenever he is on the screen and be distracted from the film (as I did whenever Eddie Murphy was on-screen in
Dreamgirls). But I am hearing so many great things about it, that I think I need to see it.
