Product Description
Product Description
Hairspray (Musical) (BD)
Amazon.com
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

I do highly recommend the Shake & Shimmy edition; loaded with extras, New Line doesn't pull a Paramount on you...they give indepth featurettes. One of my favorites are the set of featurettes documenting the history of Hairspray ("You Can't Stop the Beat: The Long Journey of Hairspray"); from the original movie starring Divine, to the Broadway Musical, and then the current version on the Big Screen. The producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, discuss how they were instrumental (pun intended) in bringing back the movie musical, which was considered box office poison not so long ago. It is sad to view Divine finally getting a chance to break into mainstream movies and then tragically passing away not long after the release of the original Hairspray movie. You also get featurettes on the choreography, hairstyles, set design, and costuming for the movie. Be sure to catch Penny's dress in the finale; it is made from her bedroom curtains, complete with valance and curtain rings at the hem. It is a little funny to see rehearsal footage of every major star in the movie except for Travlota. The extra "Hair Extensions" shows you the behind the scenes of the dance numbers; rehearsal footage is cut into the actual finished movie footage, providing an interesting glimpse of the work that goes into each number. "Step by Step: The Dances of Hairspray" teaches you how to do the Peyton Place dance, done expertly in the movie by Elijah Kelley. Although the pacing is a little quick for an actual dance number, you could really pick it up with this featurette if you watch closely and rewind it a few times. As always, it is interesting to watch the deleted scenes, but nothing shown here is really missed from the film; the editors made the right decision. Karaoke fans can also sing along with the movie using the lyric track.
Overall, 5 stars for the extras, and 4 stars for the movie. Other than JT, the movie is flawless until the end, when it falls into a "let's wrap this up quickly" predictability and silliness that betrays the somewhat serious themes of the film (bigotry and self-image). However, it's hard to be cynical when watching the rowsing musical finale. Get this version today!
