Hairspray is one of those cult classics you just have to watch when you find it on cable. It boosted the career of Ricki Lake and made everyone look at ironing their hair in a brand-new way when it came out in 1988, and soon enough the musical was raking in big bucks as a Broadway hit.

But, is it ready to be remade? Someone’s going to try, and the new Hairspray will hit theaters July 20. Will it stay true to the original? There is one thing to look forward to, at least - Queen Latifah will play Motormouth Maybelle. It there’s no other reason to sit through this remake, Latifah is enough.
