This Week in Film

Director Adam Shankman (Cheaper by the Dozen 2, The Pacifier, Bringing Down the House) attempts to translate the Broadway musical about racial integration and a Balimore dance show.  The 1988 version starred Deborah Harry, Jerry Stiller, and Ricki Lake.  This new version features Nikki Blonsky, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden, Allison Janney, and John Travolota – in drag.  Check out the official site.  The musical sings itself into theaters everywhere on Friday and we’ll have the review!  Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.
