But despite the director's lack of pedigree, and less emphasis on politics than fans of the original may like, the end result is a perky, uplifting, thoroughly entertaining romp which makes the most of both its newcomers and established cast. Cult director John Waters' 1988 film was a modest hit, which became a huge, award-winning hit on Broadway, which in turn has now produced this adaptation of the musical helmed by Adam Shankman. This is the fate that befell The Producers, which started as a great Mel Brooks film, then became a very good stage show, and finally ended up a rubbish second film at the hands of first-time director Susan Stroman.Īt first glance, Hairspray should be cause for concern since it follows the same troubled route. On the rare occasions that an attempt is made to re-adapt the adapation back to its first form, the results can be disastrous. It's widely acknowledged that adapting a source from one medium to another may cause many of its most distinctive elements to get lost in translation.
