Hairspray the movie just came out, but unfortunately I haven’t seen it yet. Any takes on whether the size issues are presented in a way that is interesting for those of us doing this recovery thing?
Jon Stewart has a nice interview with Christopher Walken on the movie. Very enjoyable. He sees himself as a person who could easily have been fat.

I thought that Hairspray was fantastic!
It’s pretty blunt with a lot of things, like weight issues and racism, but it all resolves itself, and has the right balance of humour, emotion, and pretty much everything a good film needs.
It has a great message, and is a fantastic feel-good film, so I definitely recommend that you see it.
