“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

Turly amazing

‘Hairspray’ is an amazing movie that everyone should see and that anyone can enjoy. The movie is about Tracy Turnblad (the amazing, fun Nikki Blonsky) who desperately wants to be on The Corny Collins Show, a fun ‘American Bandstand’ type of dancing show. The show features a slew of white kids, including fan girl icon Link Larkin (the very talented heartthrob Zac Efron) and his spoiled girlfriend Amber von Tussle (Brittany Snow, who gives a surprisingly great performance), who is the daughter of station manager Velma von Tussle (the sexy Michelle Pfeiffer), a conniving woman who is fighting to keep integration from happening

Tracy decides to audition for the show, however, she is completely laughed out of the room because she is overweight. Tracy makes friends with a colored boy named Seaweed (Elijah Kelley), who is apart of Negro Day on The Corny Collins Show. When Velma axes Negro Day, Tracy realizes it is time to take a stand and do what’s right

This is probably one of the best feel good movie’s I have ever seen. It is heartwarming and literally brightens your day. It’s fun, upbeat, and has an amazing soundtrack of fun and catchy songs with a timeless substance to it

The musical numbers are amazing. They are seriously breathtaking. I don’t know how else to describe it

The cast is amazing as well. John Travolta gives a hilarious and memorable performance as Tracy’s mother. Michelle Pfeiffer makes a great villain as does her on screen daughter, Brittany Snow. Zac Efron really surprised me in this movie. He really is talented. James Marsden gave an awesome performance as Corny Collins. He’s got a great voice and can really dance. Queen Latifah gave a breathtaking performance as Motormouth Maybelle. She has a powerhouse voice that gave me goosebumps. Amanda Bynes plays Penny Pingleton, Tracy’s best friend. I really had my doubts about her, but she gave a great and lovable performance as well as Elijah Kelley, who blew me away

But in the midst of this celebrity filled cast, newcomer Nikki Blonsky definitely stole the show. She was fun and lovable and has an amazing career ahead of her

The movie was also extremely funny and has things that both kids and adults can laugh at

It also has a great message about not disciminating others. Normally, I don’t like ‘message’ movies, but this movie avoided being cheesy and instead became amazingly heartwarming

You MUST see this movie. It is seriously one of the best, if not THE best, movie of 2007.

Great fun, great casting, great music.

I saw older versions of the movie and also the play (in both pre-Broadway and Broadway versions). As great as they all were, this 2007 movie was even better! The audience in my movie house certainly seemed to agree. Virtually everyone in the theatre applauded when the movie was over (unusual here in subdued Seattle)and about a dozen people actually gave the moving a STANDING ovation (I can’t recall seeing that here). I would highlight a specific performer, but it would be very difficult since they were all terrific, from the leads to the smaller role players. The music was sensational (I wanted to buy a CD, but the theatre said they had sold out), and there wasn’t a dull minute in the movie. I’d put this movie right up there (and in my opinion a bit ahead) of other ‘classics’ of this genre like ‘Grease,”Bye Bye Birdie’ and the more recent ‘Chicago’ and ‘Dreamgirls’ (all of which I thought were excellent). We went with 2 other couples, the men of which told me they ‘hated musicals,’ but they loved this picture and they actually raved about it the rest of the evening. I’d really worry about someone who didn’t enjoy and have fun at this ‘Hairspray!’ I’m serious!!
