About this product

Product Information

Originally written and directed by filmmaker John Waters in 1988, and then put on Broadway, the camp musical HAIRSPRAY could easily have run its course with viewers. But thanks to playful direction, flashy costumes, over-the-top performances, and a positive message of peace, this newest spin proves to be yet another enjoyable incarnation. Set in 1960s Baltimore, the story follows a plump young girl named Tracy Turnblad (played by impressive newcomer Nikki Blonski) on an amazing journey as her dream of dancing on the popular Corny Collins Show becomes a reality. The local television program is a shiny spectacle spear-headed by Corny Collins (James Marsden), a gang of young dancers, and producer Velma Von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer), a seductress ice queen whose manipulative ways ensure her daughter Amber (Brittany Snow) gets more than her fair share of screen time as one of the show's stars. When Tracy shows up at an open call, Velma can barely contain her rage, and sets out to rid the show of Tracy and the talented black dancers who make up the show's popular "Negro Day." Thus begins a war of talent and a battle for justice, with those in favor of integration meeting many obstacles along the way.While less out-there than Waters's original, the film still contains some very quirky humor. John Travolta playing Tracy's overweight mother may seem an odd concept at first, but in this context it works. Scenes that would ordinarily be cheesy are made more interesting due to the odd dynamic between Christopher Walken and John Travolta playing man and wife. As the two dance and woo one another, the strange smile on Travolta's lipsticked lips and the grace of Walken's dancing will be sure to fascinate viewers. Viewers should also watch for cameos by Ricki Lake, and by John Waters as a Baltimore streaker. With all the wacky comedy, it's often easy to forget that the meat of HAIRSPRAY is a battle over racial integration. The film manages to create some touching moments in the midst of sparkling musical numbers.

Wish it would've shipped in a bubble envelope instead of a paper one, but it arrived as described at a very low price, so I can't really complain. A+ Seller. Cheers!

  • Hairspray Remake Makes The Connection With My Daughter

    Just when I thought I'd never see a really cute movie again, along came the second remake of the 1988 film Hairspray, originally directed by none other than John Waters. You've got to remember the old one to really appreciate this one even though the first one had some really big stars such as Sonny Bono & Deborah Harry as the parents. We have to go back in time to the year 1962 again and pick up where the teenager Tracy Turnblad and her friend Penny Pingleton are watching the Corny Collins show and dreaming of how they could really fit into that scene. Tracy gets a chance to dance on the show and the rest is history. Her dancing skills attract Corny Collins, but also the attention of teenage heart throb, Link Larkin. But not everyone is happy with the decision to have ...

  • Not what I expected...thankfully!

    From someone who is definately NOT a fan of musicals (Read my review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC...or as I like to call it, the production from HELL!), "Hairspray" was well worth my money. This was definately a cute movie. The songs are catchy and upbeat. The humor and content have some mild adult and topical themes (racism), but wholesome enough for the whole family to enjoy. Nikki Blonski has an amazing singing voice. I expect many great things from her. Amanda Bynes has for the most part, remained delightfully unchanged since her Nickelodeon days. John Travolta and Christopher Walken were utterly hilarious in this film. It also has Zac Efron to attract the High School Musical crowd. All in all, a very good movie. I highly recommend it! Again, that's rare coming ...

  • Hairspray

    My whole family loves this movie. We think that it was very cute and very funny. Nikki is so pretty and did a great job, Amanda Bynes with her constant lollipop was absolutely adorable, Zac is just plain cute (from a 'mom' perspective). I loved John and Christopher. I think the funniest part was John Travolta. Every time he opened his mouth we sat there and laughed. The whole cast had us laughing. I would loved to have smacked Brittany right up-side the head-- and that means she did a great job. Michelle was right up there, too. smack, smack. At the same time the movie did a great job of really hitting the truth of the prejudice against Heavy/overweight/obese people, and racism. People can be discriminated against because of their looks, and not their abilities. I really can't stand ...

  • BEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME

    I AM A TRAVOLTA FAN 1ST OF ALL BUT THIS MOVIE DEPICTS HIS USUAL ROLE AS A BAD GUY OR AN ANGEL, HIS DRAMA & GOOD LOOKS MAKE FOR A GREAT DUO BUT OH THE MOVIE: GREAT MUSIC, FUNNY, WELL ACTED BY ALL & I HAVE WATCHED IT 15 TIMES AT LEAST, DID I SAY I WAS A FAN...ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY I PAID FOR IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT TWICE, 1ST TIME WAS BY BLUE RAY & DIDN'T REALIZE BLUE RAY REQUIRED A SPECIAL PLAYER TO VIEW SO BOUGHT IT AGAIN, NOT WORTH RETURNING IT...WATCH IT ITS A GREAT GREAT FLICK...

  • Fun But Not Divine

    This is a very good and fun remake. The songs are pitch perfect. Good Morning Baltimore anyone?? I had such a fondness for the original cast though. I have a tough time not trying to think about them. Mink Stole, Ricki Lake, Sunny Bono, and of course DIVINE!! I think this is a fun film. It has been made a little more tame than anything Waters would have ever done, but that's alright. It's solid and good fun, but I still recommend the original!
