Product Description
Warner Brothers Hairspray (2007) (Blu-ray) It's 1962 and change is in the air in Baltimore. Tracy Turnblad, a girl with big hair and big dreams, has only one passion in life - to dance on "The Corny Collins Show." When her chance arrives, she grooves her way into instant stardom and the eyes of teen-dream Link Larkin (Zac Efron). But with the program's scheming stage manager (Michelle Pfeiffer) against her, trend-setting Tracy will need the help of her best friend Penny (Amanda Bynes), her bighearted mother(John Travolta) and sassy co-host Motormouth Maybelle (Queen Latifah) to show the world that all ittakes to make a dream come true is a toe-tappin' beat and a little "Hairspray!".

It's rare that a movie captures the intensity and excitement of a live Broadway musical production while appealing to a broader movie-going audience, but the 2007 Hairspray is an energetic, powerfully moving film that does just that. A remake of the 1988 musical film Hairspray, the new Hairspray is a film adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical and features more likeable characters than the original film and an incredible energy that stems from a great cast, fabulous new music, and the influence of musical producer Craig Zadan. What remains constant throughout all three versions of Hairspray is the story's thought-provoking exploration of prejudice and racism. Set in Baltimore in 1962, the film opens with chubby girl Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) singing her heart out in a rendition of "Good Morning Baltimore" that, while admittedly a bit too long, sets the farcical tone for the film. Viewers quickly become immersed in Tracy's teenage world of popular television dance shows, big hair, the stigma of being different, and the first hesitant steps toward racial integration within a segregated world. The Corny Collins (James Marsden) television dance show is a teenage obsession in Tracy's world and Link Larkin (Zac Efron) is every girl's dream partner, so when a call for auditions goes out, Tracy skips school to try out, but is rejected by station manager Velma von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer) because of her large size and the threat of competition for Velma's own daughter Amber (Brittany Snow). Perseverance and the support of her friend Penny (Amanda Bynes), father Wilbur (Christopher Walken), and negro dancer Seaweed (Elijah Kelley) lead Tracy to the spotlight and the chance of a lifetime, but more and more Tracy discovers that fairness and equality for those who are different does not come without a fight and that sacrifices must be made to effect change. While the message is serious, Hairspray is first and foremost a comedy with stellar performances by John Travolta as Edna Turnblad (who ever imagined Saturday Night Fever's iconic star would appear onscreen as a woman?), Christopher Walken, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Part of what makes Hairspray so powerful is the exceptional music composed by Marc Shaiman, including songs newly composed for the movie like "Ladies' Choice," "The New Girl in Town," and "Come So Far," and the awesome vocal talents of Queen Latifah (Motormouth Maybelle) and a cast of heretofore musically-unknown actors like Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, and Brittany Snow who really can sing. Notable trivia includes Jerry Stiller's appearance in both versions of the film (as Wilbur in the 1988 film and as Mr. Pinky in this 2007 rendition), and a cameo appearance by 1988 director and screenplay writer John Waters. Hairspray is one of the best films of the year--it's powerfully moving entertainment that leaves you energized and motivated to fight for what you believe in. --Tami Horiuchi

 All as expected! :) March 10, 2010
Kat (North Dakota)
I ordered the movie "Hairspray." The movie is in new shape as described online! Saw this movie in the theater and couldn't wait to purchase a copy for home! :) Would definitely recommend this movie! :)

J. Green (NYC, NY)
I loved this movie so much more than I expected. I was reluctant to see it in the theater, but I took a chance with it here and was pleasantly surprised. The humor is great, the music stays with you and the characters are lovable. At first I simply rented the video, but I nearly had a hear attack when I went to rent it a second time and it was unavailable. When it became available again I bought it.
This is simply a good time, mood lifting movie that will definitely have you singing the songs at work the next day (I know I found myself singing "Without Love" at a meeting the next morning--a meeting where everybody was in a crappy mood; I was still on the high from the movie).
its a gift February 17, 2010

Very good movie... bought the DVD in Blu-ray for my 13 y.o. niece for Christmas and she loved it. Great family movie with lots of dancing, singing, good soundtrack and just overall good entertainment; and I'm not a singing/dancing movie fan but this is an exception. Good movie to add to your collection.
Great Deal January 24, 2010

The price for this was the great recommendation. My daughter had wanted the two-disc edition. Everywhere else I had seen prices of nearly $30. The price was great, it was exactly what we wanted and delivered very quickly.
