Malgré son physique passablement arrondi, la jeune Tracy n'a qu'une idée en tête: danser dans la célèbre émission de Corny Collins. Par chance, ce dernier assiste à une de ses performances au lycée et lui propose de venir rejoindre son équipe. Tracy devient instantanément une star, s'attirant du même coup la jalousie d'Amber, qui régnait jusqu'ici sur le show. La chance de Tracy tourne lorsque, après avoir été témoin d'une injustice raciale, elle se retrouve poursuivie par la police pour avoir marché à la tête d'une manifestation pour l'intégration des Noirs. Désormais en cavale, ses chances d'affronter Amber au cours de la finale et de remporter le titre de " Miss Hairspray " semblent bien compromises... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

I don't like musicals, but if one makes me tap the tunes onto the back of my seat, it’s a winner in my book. Shankman's film affected me like no other in recent years. Although the plot is reminiscent of a class simpleton, it's so well cast and acted, musically and lyrically maximally entertaining, and most importantly, brilliantly choreographed, that it took me along for the big ride. Based on reason, it deserves 4 stars, but my reason dissipated after the first musical number, so I’m giving it 5 stars based on the feeling from my heart!

Yes, I've rediscovered Michelle Pfeiffer and I'm fully into everything she's been in, and yet her music stuff is kind of rough. On the other hand, Makin' Whoopee is great. However, this musical is really just a parody of hairspray and the monstrous creations that the whole sick generation created with its help. But for God's sake, is it necessary to spend almost two hours on this? No way.

Hairspray is a colourful and absolutely wild musical that brought together a stellar ensemble of actors who showed me that they can combine dance, singing and in some cases acting very well. The dance choreography packed a punch and so did the songs, which were too many for me by the end. John Travolta looks very interesting in a latex suit and the main character is surprisingly not a scrawny thing after a long time. In short, an average American musical, great for an afternoon, and doesn't get boring (at least for me) after more than one viewing.

Yeah, modern times. Or old times, actually. Instead of grease, hairspray is now used. But Travolta is still there. He just turned into a fat woman. I haven't seen the original film musical from 1988, so I can't compare yet, but if you enjoy the 1950s, this one will grab you right from the start. And if you're not fond of the 1950s, the great songs can still capture your interest. I didn't believe in the movie, but the songs won me over. It's an incredibly positive film, and I willingly get swept away by these overly positive spectacles. Excellent casting.
