Hairspray

Jul 30, 2007 - HairsprayDistributor: New Line Cast: Nicole Blonsky, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Amanda Bynes, Elijah Kelley, Brittany Snow and James Marsden Director: Adam Shankman Screenwriter: Leslie Dixon Songwriters: Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman Producers: Craig Zadan and Neil Meron Genre: Musical comedy Rating: PG for language, some suggestive content and momentary teen smoking Running time: 117 min. Release date: July 20, 2007 The televisions tuned to the Corny Collins Show are black-and-white, but the featured dancers on the early-1960s Baltimorean bandstand are all white—except on its once-a-month “Negro Day,” when they’re all black. But if the plucky and, yes, “pleasantly plump” Tracy Turnblad (newcomer Nicole Blonsky) had anything to say about it, the show she rushes home after school to dance along to would become a frugging frontrunner of racial integration. - 3 Comments
