Fun, fun, fun. June 11, 2008

Sweet and fun...the music is upbeat, and the dancing is pretty good, too. Tracy Turnblad is an inspiration. This was an uplifting, quirky musical, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I haven't seen the play or the original version of the movie, though I did put it in my Netflix queue, so I really didn't know what to expect other than musical comedy set in the 60s.
Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) is an overweight teen who loves to dance, and her dream is to get on the Corny Collins show. Her mother (John Travolta) cautions her against auditioning, wanting to spare her daughter the disappointment, but her father (Christopher Walken) encourages her to go for her dream.
Tracy does get on the show, and her dancing and sparkling personality make her a big hit, much to the chagrin of the program manager (Michelle Pfeiffer) who wants her own daughter to be the star.
When Tracy finds out that the show's "Negro Day" is being canceled, she joins with Motormouth Maybelle (Queen Latifah) to protest segregation.
There are some serious issues presented: racism, obesity, and the value of family, but it's overall a feel-good movie. The racists get their comeuppance, overweight Tracy gets the cute boy, and Wilbur and Edna Turnblad are solidly in love.
The music is catchy and fun, and nearly irresistible. If I'd been watching it at home, I'd have been dancing.
And the humor... when I wasn't dancing in my seat, I was laughing, or at least grinning. My cheeks hurt afterward, I was smiling and laughing so much.
"What a treasure trove!" June 11, 2008

I've never been a big fan of the musical "Hairspray," but this is a very good film adaptation. The story revolves around Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky), a chubby teenage girl who shocks everyone by landing a coveted role on "The Corny Collins Show," a television dance program. The plot itself is kind of hokey and there are only a few decent songs in the show, but the film is worth checking out for its star-studded cast, which includes a fantastic performance by Michelle Pfeiffer as a vindictive TV station manager, and Christopher Walken and John Travolta as Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad, respectively. (Their romantic tango is hilarious!) All in all, this is an uplifting, energetic little movie that was a lot of fun to watch.

I purchased Hairspray after seeing it on our cruise. I loved it. It is fun and uplifting. I never saw the original but I understand it was NOT a musical. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good musical.
