The Delightful Hairspay!

Hairspray is one flighty Broadway musical, whimsical and lovely to watch. Integrating America is the theme of this play and Hairspray certainly delivers! With finger snapping and foot-tapping punchy music and sheer dance-steps, this wholesome play may be late in coming in celluloid form but it will be enjoyed by those who are Broadway fanatics.For the others, the vast majority, the movie will pass them by.

Chubby teenager Tracy Turnblad will do anything to get on a local Baltimore dance show, defying her parents. She eventually made it on the rock 'n' roll progamme and became the hit of the city and won her man.

The dialogue is fun! Travolta was quite unpleasant to look at initially but he came right into the role after that when he moved on from those indoor ironing chores.Amanda was her pretty self getting meatier parts as the film rolled along.The lead was obviously Nikki Blonsky, portraying the chubby Tracy. FAT is beautiful and she conquered her man, to boot. Travolta, dances pretty well in his Jabba the Hutt get-up. Chris Walken was as usual, his wooden furniture self but Michelle Pffeifer,Queen Latifah and Zaf Efron did leave some impressions though.

Good movie to watch and to come away happy!
