Nikki Blonsky was very cute and the rest of the cast was energetic and fun. And what's not to like about John Travolta dancing for us again? Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Unless you're totally into musicals don't waste your time. Travolta is entertaining for about ten minutes and then all the songs start to sound alike. Queen L is amazing as always.

Read More I liked the message of this film -- but the casting wasn't that wonderful. I definitely agree with the casting of Tracy Turnblad and Link, but as for the rest of the cast? Ehhh, so-so. Amanda Bynes, though a good actress, didn't have that great of a voice. Don't even get me started on John Travolta's role as a woman. He couldn't even really talk like a woman and talked with a ridiculous accent throughout the film. Actually if it hadn't been for Travolta, I might've given this film 4 1/2 stars.

Every character was cast beautifully. James Marsden steals the show, sorry Zach I loved you too! Every song just makes you want to dance. Pure entertainment and isn't that what it's all about? Please "Don't Stop The Beat"! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
3 out of 8 people found this review helpful John Travolta's character was DISTURBING...especially the singing parts when he totally sounded like a man.

Read More John Travolta's character was DISTURBING...especially the singing parts when he totally sounded like a man. It's like he didn't even try to disguise his voice. The songs were lame...way too much singing - and too many suggestive comments/scenes. Christopher Walken was the best actor in the movie. The original Hairspray with Ricki Lake was 100 times better than this. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No |
