I went to see the brand new re-make of the musical Hairspray last night at the cinema. It is truly fantastic but not only is it a musical with some great tracks but its a comedy also and there are some hilarious moments through the film. I didn't really want to go and see it because I thought it would be to cheesy...LOL ;D But i was wrong....well it was still a cheesy movie but i really enjoyed it!
A huge selection of stars were involved in this movie which included John Trovolta well known for Grease and Saturday Night Fever. John played the big fat mother of the lead character Tracy Turnblad funnily enough and he did a great job I laughed every time his character was on the screen. Also making an appearance in the movie was Zac Efron from Disney's High School Musical which by the way has a second instalment coming soon. But it doesn't stop there others star such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken and James Marsden were also involved.
With such a long list of well known actors before the film was released many questioned the directors decision to cast a previously unknown actor Nikki Blonsy as the lead character Tracy Turnblad. However once you have seen the film you will know that it was not a bad idea as she is absolutely brilliant throughout the movie!
I must admit the movie won't be pleasing to everyone but if anybody is thinking about going to see it i will be playing a track from the movie at the very start of my radio show this Saturday night over at Blog Talk Radio.
