A Review Of The Movie 'Hairspray' Hairspray's Dream

Decent Essays
Hairspray was a new movie this year and quite a good one. This movie is about a plump teenager named, Tracy Turnblad. It takes place in the early 60s. She wants to dance, but she doesn’t have the body type of a dancer. Her dream would be to dance on the , “ Corny Collins Dance Show.” When her dream comes true, she becomes more popular. While she is on the show, she becomes more famous and uses it to say what she believes and about integration. Amber Von Tussle was the star on the dance show until Tracy came on. They became enemies and ran against each other for the title, “ Miss Auto Show 1963.” I enjoyed this movie and would definitely see it again. The music was enjoyable and it made the movie all the more enjoyable.
