Set in 1960s Baltimore, the story follows a plump young girl named Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonski, in her acting debut) on an amazing journey as her dream of dancing on the popular Corny Collins Show becomes a reality. The local television program is a shiny spectacle spear-headed by Corny Collins (James Marsden), a group of young dancers, and producer Velma Von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer), a seductress ice-queen whose manipulative ways ensure her daughter Amber (Brittany Snow) gets more than her fair share of screen time as one of the show's stars.When Tracy shows up at an open call, Velma can barely contain her rage, and sets out to rid the show of Tracy and the talented black dancers who make up the show's popular "Negro Day." Thus begins a war of talent and a battle for justice, with those in favour of integration meeting many obstacles along the way.Boasting an all-star line-up including John Travolta in a side-splittingly hilarious role as Tracy's mother, Edna Turnblad, Christopher Walken as Tracy's father, Queen Latifah as Motormouth Maybelle, and Hollywood hunk of the moment, Zac Efron as the dancing, singing boy of Tracy's dreams, Link Larkin.Hairspray is the bright, bubbly, toe-tapping DVD of the year!
