“Hairspray” Movie Review

“Hairspray” Plot Summary

Pleasantly plump teenager Tracy Turnblad teaches 1962 Baltimore a thing or two about integration after landing a spot on a local TV dance show.

I Am Shocked

I am shocked at how much I liked this movie. When I first heard about it, I wasn’t too excited. I’m not a big fan of musicals and I didn’t think this would make me warm up to them. But I really loved this movie. It was absolutely fantastic. I was forced into seeing this movie and I didn’t expect it to be that good

My sister asked me to take her daughters, Jacqueline and Emma to see the movie and I was a little reluctant to at first, but I eventually agreed to go. It wasn’t as good as Transformers, but it was a ton of fun! My nieces were smiling to the whole movie and so was I. It was just very funny and extremely enjoyable

The whole cast was absolutely superb. Nikki Blonsky has talent. She pulled off the role of Tracy great. Amanda Bynes was great as Tracy’s pal, Penny. I like Amanda, she is a funny girl. John Travolta as Edna, Tracy’s mom. Wow. Pretty good. Michelle Pheiffer and Brittany Snow play snotty mother and daughter, Velma and Amber Von Tussel. They were pretty funny. Christopher Walken is excellent as always. Queen Latifa as Motormouth Maybelle was pretty damn hilarious. Zac Efron as the dreamy Linc Larkin. He was pretty cool. Elijah Kelley as Seaweed was just awesome!The script was pretty awesome. The songs were good and you may find yourself tapping your feet to the music. The dialogue was fun and absolutely hilarious. The characters were very, very likable. You may even grow attached to the antagonists. It was very well written and the cast proved that even more

If you want to have a fun time at the movies, I really recommend Hairspray. Even the guys will love it. The songs, script, and cast were all excellent and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Even though I loathe musicals, this one was great. Go watch it. It’s very entertaining

“August Rush” Movie Review

“August Rush” Plot Summary

A drama with fairy tale elements, where an orphaned musical prodigy uses his gift as a clue to finding his birth parents.

Excellent comedy!

Watched this film last night with my wife and 17 year old daughter. It was unbelievably predictable and sappy. I understand filmmakers need to take some creative license, but the coincidences portrayed in this film are way beyond far-fetched

It doesn’t get any funnier than a smiling 4′9′ Freddie Highmore dressed in a tux leading the NY Philarmonic Orchestra in Central Park. Now that’s comedic genius!When the movie ended, several people in the audience (including the three of us) were laughing out loud

Holy cow…to think I paid for three tickets to see this trite mess! Should have stayed home and watched the Kansas-Missou game

Gave it a two since I like NYC and Greenwich Village.

“World Trade Center” Movie Review

“World Trade Center” Plot Summary

Two Port Authority police officers become trapped under the rubble of the World Trade Center. add synopsis

Very Well Done Movie!!! With No Political Agenda…

We weren’t sure whether or not we would want to see this movie. Oliver Stone is someone who’s movies we don’t usually agree with. After reading many of the reviews on this site, we decided to give this movie a chance

It is a very impressive, well executed movie… with excellent acting, directing and editing!!! It is a movie that will remind you of that day, however, it is a movie about heroes, friendships and triumphs. Yes, there are points in the movie that you will tear up and even cry, yet there is also laughter at some points and there is a lot of positive throughout the movie even though it is was a time of crisis and horror surrounding the situation. The horror of that day does exist in the movie, however it isn’t overplayed or too dramatic to watch…. Also, that is not the main part of the movie. The movie is based on the lives to two of the trapped survivors as they tell/recall what happened to them on that day

The audience sat in awe watching the movie… nobody ever got up to leave their seats… and everyone was amazed at the end of how well the story was told. I’ve never seen the Theatre so crowded on a weeknight (almost at capacity)… and it was being shown on multiple screens at a big theater

I do recommend all American’s see this movie… as it pays tribute to the heroes and shows some of the good that came from the tragedy.
