DVD Reviews of Hairspray (Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)
DVD Review: Mashed Potato...
Summary: 3 Stars
As a fan of the original film I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. Though not as edgy as the first this rendition didn't shy away from the content or occasional seedy remark, either. I tend to wear thin as musicals but the director did a great job balancing dialogue with dance numbers. All in all a pretty fun flick considering one moment it makes fun of Americana then attempts to make philosophical statements the next. DVD Review: A BAILAR TODOS!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Una excelente pelicula que nos deja ver lo que era el mundo antes de la "era beatle", cuando el Rock`n'roll estaba apenas en sus primeros a?os y la juventud era mas conservadora; pero ya en la pelicula misma se ve el comienzo de lo que seria el romper esquemas, convencionalismos sociales, racismo y otros prejuicios que predominaban en la sociedad de los 50's; y la rebelion comienza con esa simpatica chica regordeta que simplemente es "diferente" a todos los estandares de belleza y talento de la ?poca; incre?ble ver a John Travolta haciendo de "madre sobreprotectora" (y tremendamente divertido)...en escencia, una pelicula ideal para todos aquellos que somos nostalgicos de una ?poca que fue mas sana y sencilla.DVD Review: Great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was great! I have always loved the movie and couldn't wait to see John Travolta play mom. My girls loved the Zac Efron aspect. I was not at all surprised that I loved this one as much as all of the other versions that I have seen and now I feel like my kids have seen just one of those movies that you should definately see in your life.DVD Review: IT POPS ON BLU RAY
Summary: 5 Stars
Hairspray just pops on blu ray! all the beautiful colors! The sound/music/songs sound amazing even with a moderate stereo system.
This movie will put a smile on anyone's face! Might even put a smile on a NON MUSICAL lover. Those that grew up with 60's music will also enjoy this film!
DVD Review: Modern musical
Summary: 5 Stars
Superb movie if like musicals.... I have not seen a good one in a while and this one is great... would recommend this one!!!!
Description of Hairspray (Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)
It's 1962, and change is in the air in Baltimore. Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and is transformed overnight from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can the trendsetting Tracy win the heart of teen-dream Link Larkin and stand up for what she believes in, despite the program's scheming stage manager? All she needs is her best friend Penny, 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
