Adam Shankman’s HAIRSPRAY
(PG, 2007, 115 min)
“I’m big, I’m beautiful, and I’m here to boogie!” Get ready to dance, sing, and laugh with John Travolta as the fabulously over-the-top Edna Turnblad in this modern camp classic musical. In 1960s Baltimore, plucky teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) dreams of dancing on a local TV show, shaking up segregation, winning hearts, and proving that everyone deserves to strut their stuff. Along the way, she’s joined by a dazzling ensemble including Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, and Zac Efron, creating a whirlwind of energy, style, and comedy. Bursting with vibrant choreography, outrageous costumes, and infectious songs, the film builds to the unforgettable anthem “You Can’t Stop the Beat”, a joyous celebration of individuality, empowerment, and sheer fun. Bold, hilarious, and irresistibly tuneful, it’s a musical party on screen you won’t want to miss.
