I'm not a big fan of musicals. It often annoys me if random singing and dancing happens in the middle of the story. But also the utilized style of music has a lot to do whether I like or not.
Hairspray was a delightful experience with it's energetic 60s pop and a great plot. I mean, I liked the fact that in the story there is this fictional music show on tv where many of the dancing scenes take place. With the story centering around music it makes more sense that also the movie is a musical.
The cast is great. You can spot such extraordinary moments like as Christopher Walken singing, and John Travolta playing a female character (and he also performs a song in that character can you believe!) But the absolute highlight is Nikki Blonsky as the lead character. She's charming to no end and has craziest dance moves that stun the characters in the film and myself too.
While not a typical kind of movie I usually watch I must say I really liked it and if I happen to come across a dvd I will pick it up, and watch when in need of an overdose of joy an energy.
