Hairspray
Plot
Based
in 1962 Baltimore, and Tracey Turnblad , a girl with big crazy hair and hopes
to achieve her dream of appearing on a popular dance show which is the ‘Corny
Collins show’ she gets to that stage but not everything is the way she wanted
it to be. The 1962 based film also focuses on the fight against racial
segregation which is led by a blonde haired Queen Latifah and its battle against
racism and size-ism but will this actually be ended...
Review
If
you’re into films that have already been done, then hairspray is a very updated
and enjoyable film. Hairspray is a 2007 American musical film based on the
2002 Broadway musical of the same name, which in turn was based on John
Waters's 1988 comedy film of the same name. It’s bubbly and slightly campy, and
basically just good family fun, for everyone to enjoy.
The
most notable stars, including John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer and Christopher
Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden who plays the most bubbly and happy
character in the film! Plus Queen Latifah, Brittany Snow who has all stared in
very recent and popular films, hairspray managed to compact as many stars as
possible into their cheesy but enjoyable film. High school musical star, Zac
Efron plays Link Larkin, turns out to be big haired Tracey’s lover. John
Travolta takes the role of Edna Turnblad, Tracy’s mum (played by Divine in the
1988 original), and appeared in a latex fat-suit. This film is a difficult one,
it’s like marmite you either love it or hate it!
Hairspray
manages to mix realism with theatricality.
