Good Points: This film shows the reality of how bad segregation is (generally, it shows that judging people based on looks is bad).
Bad Points: NONE!
General comments: Hairspray starts with a girl named Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonski), an optimistic girl who likes to dance. However, when she skips school to audition for the Corny Collins show, she gets rejected by Velma Von Tussle just because she is overweight (shame shame shame on her...). She eventually does make it on the show, but she is still discontent. The television is segregated and won't let her friend Seaweed J. Stubbs's sister on the show just because she is black. To find out more, watch the movie!

Hairspray is a sensational film which tells the story of Tracy Turnblad (Blonsky) a big girl with a big heart ,who dreams of starring in The Corny Collins dance show.

Hairspray is a feast for the senses-absolutely magical!

Some superbly choreographed big musical numbers interspersed with an underlying theme of racial integration in 60's America and a great cast including the lead star - newcomer Nikki Blonsky , Christopher Walken and Queen Latifah. There' are some moments whe ...
