Hairspray Film Review

Hairspray is probably my all time favourite film so I thought i’d review it.There are many reasons to why i’m in love with this film,  It could be that I am just in awe of the beauty of Zac Efron, or the fact magic that was produced on stage by the original Hairspray cast has been beautifully transferred to the big screen.

I couldn’t have asked for more. Nikki Blonsky premiered  as the ballsy and voluptuous Tracy Turnblad. John Travolta as woman? sounds crazy but perfect actor for the role. Christopher Walken was charming and hilarious. Queen Latifah was “big, black, and beautiful.” Amanda Bynes? Lovable on screen and off, I could go on and on

The Radiant colored costumes and exciting choreography were so enjoyable, and even the more serious parts of the film (though there are very few!) were touching and sincere.

The only thing I wished had been included was the song “Mama I’m a Big Girl Now.” While it would have been a great addition, other big song and dance numbers carried the film along just fine.

I caught myself smiling like an idiot more than once. A must see for musical lovers–or anyone who just likes to pretend they can sing like me. Score? 10/10. Beautifully Delivered.
