    Hairspray

    Reviewed by

    Hairspray is first-class entertainment, everything a movie should be. No ants in your pants whatever while watching this very funny film. And it certainly takes you back (if you are old enough to be taken back) to a time of shy, pleasantly plump mommas who hadn't left the house in ages and geeky dads always trying to be funny. The parental roles played by John Travolta and Christopher Walken were, to say the least, great departures and tremendous successes for both actors. Talk about diversity! The ugly Betty-type central character amazes with her confidence and impresses with her social conscience. Queen Latifah's singing voice is non-pareil. How I wanted her to sing that masterpiece blues number again but, alas, you can't have encores in the movies. With his stellar voice and peppy presence, Elijah Kelley sparkled as Seaweed. Really you wanted to get up and dance with the cast and I'll bet that some audiences did just that.
