Editorial Reviews

Adam Shankman's adaptation of the stage musical Hairspray, itself an adaptation of the non-musical John Waters film of the same name, stars Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad, an overweight high-school student whose only dream is to be on a local Baltimore teen dance program. While her father (Christopher Walken) tells her to follow her dreams, her mother Edna (John Travolta in drag) reminds her that she doesn't look like the girls on that show. After impressing the show's host (James Marsden), Tracy earns a coveted spot on the program, but when she becomes a popular addition to the cast, she earns the wrath of the prettiest girl in school -- a girl whose mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) just happens to operate the local television station. Tracy's visit to detention hall opens her eyes to the racial tension on the show, as does the budding relationship between her best friend (Amanda Bynes) and an African-American boy named Seaweed (Elijah Kelley). Thus empowered, Tracy attempts to integrate the races on her favorite program. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

FLAWLESS MASTERPIECE !by DorkyDucklin

February 21, 2009: There is nothing bad I can say about this wonderful musical film ! It is much better than the original. Cast is perfect, songs are so beautifully sung & orchestrated, cinematography & direction is amazing. The 50s & 60s are my favorite era. Nikki B. does not disappoint in her first major role. She was made for this role ! Absolutely stunning ! Zac Efron was wayyy better in this film than any HSM films. John Travolta in drag is just PRICELESS. A great movie to watch with everyone !

July 31, 2008: I think that I'm a lot older than the other reviewers, but I gotta say that Hairspray made me feel as young as they are! I grew up in the 60's, and the film had me coming out singing, like when I was a kid and saw Mary Poppins. Great feel good movie. I also remember that I had the chance to see the play here in Las Vegas COMPED, but at the time I turned it down. What an MOOK!!! A truly sublime suprise for all who watch it!
