Hairspray (2007) is a lively musical comedy directed by Adam Shankman, based on the hit Broadway musical and John Waters’ 1988 film. Set in 1962 Baltimore, the story follows Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky), an optimistic teenager who dreams of dancing on The Corny Collins Show. When she finally gets her chance, Tracy not only wins over audiences but also becomes an advocate for racial integration on television. Along the way, she faces opposition from the show’s snobbish producer (Michelle Pfeiffer) while finding love and friendship with fellow dancers, including heartthrob Link Larkin (Zac Efron). The film features a star-studded cast, including John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Christopher Walken, and Amanda Bynes.
