This film is a complete happy pill, but I’m not sure whether it hasn’t lost all the edginess of the original. Plus, even though Travolta is pretty darling as Mrs Turnblad, I’m not completely down with fat suits. Wouldn’t it be like blackface within the metaphorical frame of the film?

That said, Nikki Blonsky is a superstar, and the movie deffo worth seeing. I wonder whether her nickname was Nikki before she donned the dancing shoes of Ricki?

Lake and Waters have cameos in the film, naturally.
