Review of Hairspray

Hairspray (2007)
10/10
The Best Movie Musical Since Chicago
23 July 2007
Loved it loved it loved it. I kept my expectations low for this movie because I didn't want to be disappointed(as I was with Dreamgirls) but Hairspray 07 does not disappoint one bit. The entire cast is excellent and I was laughing and smiling from beginning to end. I had my doubts about Travolta but he blew it out of the park as Ms. Edna. He gave his own performance and did not try to impersonate Divine or Harvey, he seemed much more like a real women than a man in drag and the chemistry between Travolta and Chris Walken was great, you really believed they were man and wife, their musical number is a highlight of the movie. I'm going to see it again this week with a different group of friends and I know I'll buy it on DVD. This is the best 10.00 bucks you will spend this summer, forget Transformers, Hairspray is the kinda movie Hollywood needs to make more of, cause I think we all just want to feel good and Hairspray delivers in spades!
