Hairspray
Directed by: Adam Shankman
Starring: Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Allison Janney
In a nutshell: Retro Fantastic.
For more?: Tracy Turnblad is pleasantly plump and she and her best friend Penny Pingleton loves the Corny Collins Show, a teen dance show. When one of the council kids of the show is going on a leave of absence, auditions for replacements were held and Tracy wouldnt miss the audition for school. However, she didnt get through due to her body size and her support for integration. One day at detention, she learns R&B dance moves from seaweed which catched the attention of Link Larkin, who suggested she dance on the Corny Collins Show and that might just earn her the spot. Tracy manages to get a spot and her popularity increase, much to Velma's dismay, who wants her daughter, amber, to be the star of the show and win Ms Hairspray. Also to Amber's dismay that Link seems to grow fonder of Tracy. Velma and Amber then try ways and means to ruin Tracy's life. Also, with Tracy's support of integration, she suggests Maybelle and the others to stage a protest march for integration. Velma then informed the police of who might be the mastermind of it all. Tracy is soon a wanted person and with the help of seaweed and the others, she manages to reach the studio on time and did a dance number with Link. Seaweed's sister, Inez, was then voted Ms Hairspray. It was also official that the Corny Collins show would be integrated. Corny and Maybelle then begin co-hosting the show together and getting all their dancers together and Tracy and Link finally kiss.
seriously?: I absolutely love John Travolta. He did an amazing job in this movie as Tracy's Mom. Also the songs are somehow fun and it also fulfills the good over evil factor. And i seriously didnt know that Amada Bynes could sing.
my rating: 4.35/5
