"Ouran High School Host Club" was one of my favorite mangas back when I had the time to read all 90+ chapters of it, and after I finished it, I kept going back to watch and rewatch the anime. When I learned that there was a live action version, I was initially weary of it. I was afraid that it wasn't going to live up to the manga. It came as a nice surprise when the live-action version retained the manga's charm, but added it's own spice to the story.
Story: It was similar to the original in many ways, but there were more comedic moments.
Acting: I'm glad the actor who played Tamaki wasn't afraid to look ridiculous, because his character was downright crazy. There was a lot of overacting, but that served to make the show even more hilarious than it already was.
Music: Music was alright, nothing special in my opinion, but good enough.
Rewatch Value: Considering that this show is pretty much reverse harem, I'd watch it all over simply for the eyecandy.
Overall: An amazing adaptation of the original. I loved how crazy it was and would recommend it even to people who haven't read the manga.
