Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/21/25 Full Review Andrea S I thought Hairspray was super vibrant and made me feel so good! I do not really like musicals, but I saw this one and it was filled with infectious energy. This was set in the 1960s in Baltimore, so the film basically follows Tracy Turnblad, who is a spirited teen who dreams of dancing on the Corny Collins Show. But beyond the catchy tunes and dazzling choreography, Hairspray shows the audience a powerful message about racial integration and self-acceptance. The cast is stacked with talent! Nikki Blonsky was such an amazing Tracy while John Travolta portrayed her mother Edna was both so funny and extremely heartwarming. Queen Latifa, Zac Effron, and Michelle Pfieffer added some more layers to the charm and conflict in the story. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Audience Member Starring Nikki Blonsky from “Hairspray”. The film adaptation of the Broadway musical, which was itself was based on the 1988 film, remains one of the best modern movie adaptations in recent history. It feels like a spiritual successor to “Grease”, being set in the proceeding decade, with similar themes relating to societies status quo at the top, although “Hairspray” has higher stakes issues and delivers the theme of acceptance more effectively. Despite its heavy subject matter, a majority of the musical numbers are upbeat bops that remain stuck in the viewer’s head like a great pop singer. Phenomenal casting leads to outstanding performances by the entire cast in this bright, beautiful musical. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Alex N Hairspray is one of the most entertaining films I have watched. The film is full of energy and charismatic characters making it enjoyable to watch with friends and family. The acting is amazing, the cast gave an outstanding performance and everything about the plot followed smoothly and fit together well. The music is catchy, the singing is amazing, and the dances matches the music's vibe, very upbeat. The movie overall is a top tier musical to watch, especially if you're starting out. It is one of the films that I recommend to countless people who are breaking into the musical scene. I give this film a 4.5 stars out of 5 because it is nostalgic, and very fun to watch.
