Siguiendo con bastante fidelidad el guión original de John Waters, que se permite un cameo en su línea, 'Hairspray' cuenta la historia de Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky), una chica entrada en carnes cuyo único sueño es bailar en el programa de la televisión local El show de Corny Collins, bailar. A pesar de su increible destreza y desenvoltura a la hora de mover las caderas, Tracy ve sus sueños frustrados a causa de sus grandes dimensiones, por lo que hará todo lo posible para derrocar todos los estereotipos de la sociedad de su tiempo, ya sean de talla o de raza.

Hairspray is small and simple, but nice and cute fun for one evening. It is to Adam Shankman’s credit that he is also behind the choreography.

I don't like musicals, but if one makes me tap the tunes onto the back of my seat, it’s a winner in my book. Shankman's film affected me like no other in recent years. Although the plot is reminiscent of a class simpleton, it's so well cast and acted, musically and lyrically maximally entertaining, and most importantly, brilliantly choreographed, that it took me along for the big ride. Based on reason, it deserves 4 stars, but my reason dissipated after the first musical number, so I’m giving it 5 stars based on the feeling from my heart!

Yes, I've rediscovered Michelle Pfeiffer and I'm fully into everything she's been in, and yet her music stuff is kind of rough. On the other hand, Makin' Whoopee is great. However, this musical is really just a parody of hairspray and the monstrous creations that the whole sick generation created with its help. But for God's sake, is it necessary to spend almost two hours on this? No way.

Well, new times. Or actually old times. Instead of pomade, hair gel is now used. But Travolta remains. He just turned into a fat woman. I haven't seen the original musical movie from 1988, so I can't compare yet, but if you like the 50s, this will grab you from the beginning. And if you don't like the 50s, the great songs can still captivate you. I didn't believe in this movie, but the songs simply won me over. It's an incredibly positive film and I gladly let myself be overwhelmed by these overly positive spectacles. Excellent casting.
