Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

marylandflower Hairspray was a very interesting viewing and I would recommend it to anyone who would like to watch movies but doesn't know which to watch. Nikki Blonsky embodied Tracy Turnblad so well we really felt for her. She stood up for what she believed in and most of the camera angles put as behind her as in we should start to stand with her. Zac Efron played a very convincing link Larkin. He made everyone feel that he wanted to be famous more than he wanted to help with her very important cause with race equality. Britney Snow ended up making it really easier to hate her character as Amber Von Tussel. Amber is so about herself and is always trying to bring Tracy down and when Link joins Tracy she said "Link we were always a team". When Link falls for Tracy, Amber takes that hit the hardest. Mrs. Von Tussel wants Link and Amber together so when Link would get famous Amber would too. She only cares about money. Link wanted to be with Amber but he realized that she was too rude and mean to other people as by the quote in Mrs. Baltimore Crabs "Amber no need to be rude"! Link was obviously thinking Amber needed to be nicer. Mrs. Von Tussel agreed and insulted Tracy with her daughter all the time. Queen Latifah was Mrs. Motormouth Maybell and she led the group to go and get TV to integrate. A lot of people believed that she would take it and that TV should integrate. Little Inez her daughter wanted to use her singing voice to reach people about how she feels about this issue. Seaweed her son also wanted to reach people about how she feels about this issue. He made his own song "Run and tell that" to show what people of color had to go through in that time period. They are all going for equality and Penny Pingleton tries to help but her overall Christian mother is also very racist. She does not agree with her daughter hanging out with she says those people. Tracy's mother Mrs. Turnblad doesn't agree with it until she starts to embrace her own image and she embraces her own image, when Motormouth Maybell told her that she is beautiful and does not need to change for anyone. Then Mrs. Turnblad decides to start to like her self image and see herself as important and beautiful. Everyone executed the music very well in the movie. Everyone practiced and hit the notes very well. You could tell the emotions were on point with all the characters. You could tell they really felt the way they were showing. They take a stand against all the issues and when you watch they try to get everyone on board with them, which means they make you feel for them. Everyone who watches Hairspray feels for the characters especially during I know where I've been. That song tugs at your heartstrings a little.

ejaneh0803 Director Adam Shankman gives a brilliant performance of the hit musical Hairspray. The Cast features numerous big named actors and actresses that give outstanding performances. John Travolta took on the daunting task of playing the MOTHER of young Tracy Turnblad and he blows the character out of the park. Queen Latifa does a great job of capturing the powerful, ambitious, and determined civil rights advocate of Baltimore, Motormouth Maybelle. Nikki Blonsky also does an amazing job making her debut as the tenacious Tracy Turnblad. Aside from the cast the overall storyline was also outstanding. The mix between the determination the characters have towards integrating the Corny Collins show and gaining Civil Rights to the adolescents overcoming adversity. Overall it was great.

Iggyrockshard This movie was great.I remember watching it when I was three and my mom made me watch it again but it was way more better then I remembered.All the actors and actresses played their parts so beautiful. It is a very good movie. The songs in it sound like they are real songs not just made for a movie. But like all movies there is a person you really don't like and Michelle pfiefer played her part puurfectly. And all the actors in it are in lots of other things like Zac Efron and John Trovolta. And the last song you can't stop the beat was great. I also like how Tracy's (Nikki Blonsky) hair changed through out the movie. I also like penny and seaweed falling in love. And Zac Efron falling for Tracy.

SnoopyStyle Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) is a Baltimore teen who runs home everyday with her best friend Penny Pingleton (Amanda Bynes) to watch the Corny Collins show (James Marsden). She wants nothing more than to be on the show. Her mother Edna (John Travolta) is afraid of being ridiculed but her father Wilbur (Christopher Walken) supports her all the way. She gets put in detention with the negroes and Link Larkin (Zac Efron) sees her dancing with them. She gets selected onto the show to the chagrin of lead dancer Amber Von Tussle (Brittany Snow) and mother station manger Velma Von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer). They loath to see Tracy win Miss Teenage Hairspray, and her push to integrate the show. When Velma cancels Negro Day where blacks are allowed to dance on TV for one day a week, Tracy and Penny and many from the black community start a protest to integrate the show.This movie is chalk full of charming joyful fun. It starts with the adorably happy Blonsky. All the songs have that happy upbeat sound. It's wall to wall singing and dancing with a good dollop of racial equality message and acceptance. However it is missing that one popular radio hit to put it over the top. Nevertheless it is still a toe tapping good times.
