Hairspray

Four stars
(Average User Rating.)

Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bugger heart, has only one passion – dancing. Her dream is to appear on “The Corny Collins Show”, Baltimore’s hippest dance party on TV. Tracy (Nikki Blonsky) seems a natural fit for the show except for one little problem – she doesn’t fit in. Her plus-sized figure has always set her apart from the cool crowd, which she is reminded of by her loving but overly protective plus-sized mother, Edna (John Travolta). That doesn’t stop Tracy because if there is one thing this girl knows, its that she was born to dance. As her father Wilbur (Christopher Walken) tells her, “Go for it! You’ve got to think big to be big.” After wowing Corny Collins (James Marsden) at her high school dance, Tracy wins a spot on his show and becomes an instant on-air sensation, much to the chagrin of the show’s reigning princess, Amber von Tussle (Brittany Snow), and her scheming mother Velma (Michelle Pfeiffer), who runs TV station WYZT. Even worse for Amber is the fact that its not just the audience who loves the new girl in town: Amber’s sweetheart Link Larkin (Zac Efron) seems to be smitten with Tracy’s charms as well. This dance party gets personal as a bitter feud erupts between the girls as they compete for the coveted “Miss Teenage Hairspray” crown. 

When big hair meets big dreams, anything can happen – and does, in this high energy comedy that proves you don’t have to fit in to win!
