hairspray since I havent seen mamma mia yet

DigitalfreakNYC · 01-14-2009, 12:28 PM

I haven't seen Mamma Mia but it can't be any worse than Hairspray. I shut it off.

Hairspray. Mamma Mia kind of gets old after a while and the Meryl is a miscast, but the movie is fun to watch. I'd stay with Hairspray, it has a good story and it has some replay value. i found hairspray more fun.(plus the blu ray quality on both is great)

Have to say Hairspray, at least the cast could sing and dance... my god pearse brosnan and colin firth should never ever ever be allowed to sing on film again.. brosnan looked like he was in constant pain and firth sounded like he was a cat on who's tail a very large wieght had been dropped

Hairspray. I have no want nor need to ever watch Mamma Mia.

Plus, you get to see Amanda Bynes sucking on a lollipop during the whole movie which is a plus.

I was going to ask where the niether choice was till I just saw your Amanda reference. May need to check that one out now.

RazorFromHRSnet · 01-14-2009, 06:04 PM

no contest here. Hairspray is watchable and fun.

Mamma Mia was garbage. I am a musical theater fan, and in my family of musical theater fans, we all just sat there jaws agape at the udder retardation of Mamma Mia

Quoted for truth!

While I am sure Mama Mia did WAY better in the box office... it was mostly the ABBA factor that carried it through. A lot of big names in the movie but poorly cast based on voice. Had this been a completely original work and not used the work of ABBA I'm quite sure it would have been kicked, beaten, stoned and left to die.

Hairspray, on the other hand, was well cast with a great deal of talent. It was definately more fun, in my eyes.. and best of all.. NO PIERCE BROSNAN SINGING! *shudders*

Mamma mia probably because I knew the music although 007 cant sing. could not watch hairspay

coolmilo · 01-15-2009, 03:18 AM

Hairspray is a pretty good movie and an excellent Blu-ray disc. Both the picture and sound are terrific.

Watched it on a plane during a flight and choose to sleep instead. Maybe I should give it another look on BD

I don't enjoy musicals but surprisingly I didn't hate either. I though hairspray was less annoying though.

Link · 01-21-2009, 02:08 AM

"Hairspray" for sure. I like musicals in general - and started to when I saw "Chicago". "Hairspray" I fell in love with when I saw it at the movies - I knew nothing about the story, the music, the Broadway show - I just didn't - which is weird because I was/am a Broadway fan.

I like the theme of "Hairspray", the music is catchy and fun, and the movie has some meaning behind it. Plus, I think it has an excellent cast - they all play their roles well. The movie does differ slightly from the Broadway production, which was equally fun and non-stop action on stage. I got to see it a few weeks ago in NYC.

When I went to see "Mama Mia" last summer at the movies, I was really excited to see it and hoping that it would capture the fun of "Hairspray" and I thought i'd LOVE it - I actually did not "LOVE" it. It's a decent movie but the singing from some of the actors wasn't that great as already mentioned. I did buy it on Blu-Ray and think the scenery looks great and I'm starting to appreciate it more. I have yet to see the actual Broadway show though. Maybe in the future.

But, My vote obviously goes to "Hairspray" - I'm addicted to the music.
