Sliding Doors

four.

Fantasizing about destiny, the film plays with the question, "what if?" While "what if" statements are generally discouraged because "nothing can be done now," Sliding Doors helps us realize the unexpected impact that every minuscule choice and action has on our lives. I just wish that the intriguing plot wouldn't have turned into two separate love stories.

This strange and unique story raises serious questions and plot holes, but it was definitely fun to watch.

Hairspray

three and a half.

The performances were surprisingly authentic in this B-movie-turned-pop-culture-classic that made fun, yet serious, statements about race and size.

I'll have to admit, though, that John Travolta as a woman really creeped me out.
