Hairspray is my favorite musical. It is really good film because it has a meaning to the plot and some really fun songs.
Hairspray is about a girl who is named Tracy Turnblad. She is over weight but that doesn't stop her from working her way to fame on the Corny Collin's show in Baltimore.
This was in the 60's, when segragation was still around so that makes it even harder for Tracy's best friend Penny to stay in touch with Seaweed. An African American who was segragated in the negro Corny Collin's show.
Velma the woman in charge of the show doesn't want Tracy to win the teenage Hairspray pagent; she want's her daughter, Amber to. Amber is a hot head and her mom is a control freak.
Will Amber win the Hairspray pagent? Will Tracy? Or will it be someone totally different? This is an amazing work of art that will keep you on your feet.
I'd give this movie 2 thumbs up because of it's flashy colors and of a hiden love story.

I think one of the thumbs up is for how they connected history from the 60's into a fun movie. I read this past to my older sister because we love that moveie a lot. We also like the post a lot.
