Written by BuzzSugar
Hairspray Watching John Travolta in the padded suit and dressed like a woman never does seem quite natural, but despite this, Hairspray is one of my favorite movies from the summer season. Based on the stage musical (which was based on John Waters' 1988 film), Hairspray tells the story of t...

Opinion: Hold the Presses! Or, the New York Times on How Nikki Blonsky Dares to Eat (Gasp) Ribs!

Written by Kim Voynar
Wells doesn't actually weigh in (yeah, pun intended) with an opinion on Blonsky's proportions, but boy, oh, boy do his commenters get into it. This isn't the first time Wells and his readers have gotten into it on the issue of weight, but I find it interesting nonetheless that people are goi...

Written by Chris Beaumont
The real stars are the kids. The kids are led by Nikki Blonsky, in her first role, and she makes the most of it. She has a strong voice, can dance well, and has such an exuberant screen presence that she really carries the film. Amanda Bynes is the adorable best friend who seems to be a perpetual sta...

Months earlier I was invited to Dolby Labs to screen 20 minutes from the new film. The footage I saw that night impressed me greatly. And I think I entered into the John Waters showing expecting Shankman’s film. That’s not to say that Shankman’s film doesn’t have it’s problems, or should I say P...

Opinion: Kate Clinton: Hairspray

20 Jul 2007 08:37:54 PDT

Written by Kate Clinton
In most press junkets interviews, Travolta has said that he is not playing a gay character and Scientology is not homophobic. Therefore it is so. He said he wanted the challenge of playing Edna so that the audience would just see Edna, a vulnerable, voluptuous housewife gone to flesh, not Jo...

Movie Review: Hairspray

Written by Gerald Wright
Supporting cast members Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, and Queen Latifah were fantastic. Actually they were better than the old cast members Sonny Bono, Pia Zadora, ex-Blondie Debbie Harry, and Ruth Brown. What was cool is that Jerry Stiller and Ri...

Music Review: Hairspray Soundtrack

07 Jul 2007 07:26:11 PDT

Written by Daniel J. Stasiewski
But the soundtrack to Hairspray, an Adam Shankman-directed adaptation of the Broadway musical adapted from the 1988 film, is definitely a musical soundtrack. The opening song "Good Morning Baltimore" is a showtune through and through, with the big (blonde?) and beautiful voice of Nik...
