[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Hairspray [2007] & High School Musical

[ultra_fic]

 

Please don't judge me for owning High School Musical! Everybody had seen it but me and I just figured I'd give it a shot... and it wasn't THAT bad! Some of the songs are catchy and fun, its good for a giggle if nothing else, even the acting is a bit over-the-top and all.

As for Hairspray, with all the great actors and actresses taking part, I was pretty sure this couldn't fail to be an awesome movie - and I was right, I love it! Somehow, Zac Efron is suddenly hot in this movie, where in HSM he was barely cute to me. John Travolta is epic as Edna Turnblad, and Christopher Walken as her husband cracks me up. Add to that Michelle Pfeiffer and Brittany Snow as mother and daughter bitch queens, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes, James Marsden, et al - there is so much talent to execute excellent songs, dance routines, and scenes.

Lets not forget Nikki Blonksy, the new up and coming actress who stars as Tracy Turnblad, the larger girl who wants to be a star, and makes it in spite of the odds!

For singing along and having a good time in general, I turn to these movies and say 'Why not?'
