4.0 out of 5 stars A fun movie and a superb BluRay release 4 July 2008
By bridb20
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is not the sort of movie I go for, but having read a few glowing reviews elsewhere about the film and the quality of picture and sound, and given that it is selling for well under £10, I thought I'd try it.
If you don't like musicals then its best to avoid, but I don't mind them and hoped this would be entertaining part of the film.
From the outset, the movie is crammed with songs, maybe one or two could be better or one or two less for me, and a little more dialogue. I felt it became a bit too broadway,but seeing as this is taken from the stageshow I can see how it's turned out that way.
Some people are saying it's the new Grease or some are going OTT and saying it's better, but I can report IMO, it's not in the same Grade.
On the upside though, I was entertained, even though this is bubblegum stuff that's more of a girlie movie for most of it, I wish John Travolta had been the father and not in a fatsuit in drag, maybe he could have danced better then but thankfully Chirtopher Walken and Michelle Pfeifer play very decent parts and keep the movie from being too cheesy. I thought Michelle Pfeifer in particular was great, she has some really good scenes and wished she was in it more.
Other than that the plot gets a little dull sometimes mainly focusing on the musical numbers and could have been crafted a little better with more character involvement.
The Best thing about this BluRay apart from it being great value and having two discs, is it doesn't dissapoint with Picture or Sound Quality,
Each is absoulutely fatastic brimming with detail and colour - by God, the colours are so vibrant it's like your tv has maxed out on it.

Format:Blu-ray
'Hairspray' is an incredibly catchy, upbeat, and loveable musical. It's big-hearted and sweetly nostalgic, arch but emotionally sincere. As a piece of cinema, it's visually very imaginative and stands on its own two feet: this is by no means just a 'film version' of the stage show.

The cast is fantastic, especially at the younger end - Nikki Blonsky has astonishing presence and conviction and owns every scene she's in, which is most of them - but John Travolta, Queen Latifah and Christopher Walken are also very fine. Travolta could have been awful, but ultimately pulls off his role, and seeing Walken play sweet and supportive is in some ways even more disturbing (but in a good way) than watching him play scary.

The Blu-Ray transfer is pin-sharp, the extras are bountiful and at Amazon's current price (a tiny fraction of the RRP) it's a bargain you should not even try to resist. 'Hairspray' is happiness in an aerosol can.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new "Grease" for today? 18 Oct 2009
Format:Blu-ray
This is a great little film. The Blu-Ray release is pretty much reference quality picture-wise (and the DTS MA audio isn't too shabby either). The songs are excellent, with "I know where I've been" being the standout.

Buy it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for everybody!
The quality of the picture is flawless, but the movie is childish and boring. Travolta was rubbish as a woman!
