Thumbs up! *toes up too! Over-the-top, corny (hey it’s so corny, the name of the host in the movie is Corny!) but enjoyable movie.
The beginning was a bit boring but got better throughout the show. The lead played by Nikki Blonsky was very annoying. She was so unbelievably hyper, i wished she was an Energizer bunny. *if i could just get hold of the batteries! However, superb performance from other casts and catchy songs were enough to make up for it.
Cheesy stuff i noticed from the movie:
1) Tracy Turnblad sounds like Tracy Turnblack coz she befriended negros. *duh!
2) Tracy’s black hair with white highlights on her fringe. Her hair was dyed after she got caught doing the dance steps her negro friends taught her.
John Travolta was surprisingly quite good as a woman. There were some scene where he kinda over-act a little but nothing too much. I’m not a Travolta fan but he’s really likable and adorable in Hairspray! *so cute i can die! And omg he can really dance… yeah even in prosthetics and dress haha.
Hairspray is worth a watch if not just to catch John Travolta shaking his bon-bon in drag :P
