Oh my GOSH! This cast! John Travolta (Grease), Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes (She’s The Man), James Marsden (The Notebook, 27 Dresses), Queen Latifah (The Secret Life of Bees), Brittney Snow(John Tucker Must Die), Zac Efron (17 Again, High School Musical), Allison Janney (10 Things I Hate About You, Juno, American Beauty), Nikki Blonsky and even Jerry Stiller are nothing short of amazing in their roles and help make Hairspray one of the best musicals ever!

Director Adam Shankman expertly directs this adaptation of the original 1988 screenplay by the legendary John Waters and Leslie Dixon without losing the spirit and fun that we all loved about Hairspray to begin with. It might be a bit more mainstream than Waters original, but it keeps its biting satire and above all else, entertains and delights. This is a good, fun, watch for movie fans and musical fans alike.

Sandy and Danny are such a great movie couple. You’re really rooting from them through the entire movie. There is a reason Grease is such a classic. It makes you feel good. It’s a happy, fun, entertaining movie and you can’t help singing along with the songs you’ve come to love so much.

“You’re the one that I want! Ooo ooo ooo!”
