Hairspray
Updated: 2007-07-09 14:26
Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has
only one passion--dancing. Her dream is to appear on "The Corny Collins
Show," Baltimore's hippest dance party on TV. Tracy seems a natural fit
for the show except for one not-so-little problem--she doesn't fit in.
Her plus-sized figure has always set her apart from the cool crowd, which
she is reminded of by her loving but overly protective plus-sized mother,
Edna. That doesn't stop Tracy because if there is one thing that this
girl knows, it's that she was born to dance. After wowing Corny Collins
at her high school dance, Tracy wins a spot on his show and becomes an
instant on-air sensation, much to the chagrin of the show's reigning
princess, Amber Von Tussle, and her scheming mother, Velma, who runs
television station WYZT. Even worse for Amber is the fact that it's not
just the audience who loves the new girl in town; Amber's sweetheart,
Link Larkin, seems to be smitten with Tracy's charms as well. This dance
party gets personal as a bitter feud erupts between the girls as they
compete for the coveted "Miss Teenage Hairspray" crown. At school,
however, a short stint in detention and raised-eyebrows caused by the
budding relationship between her best friend Penny Pingleton and Seaweed
opens Tracy's eyes to a bigger issue than the latest dance craze or the
coolest hairdo--racial inequality. Throwing caution to the wind, she
leads a march with Motormouth Maybelle to fight for integration and winds
up with an arrest warrant instead. Tracy is on the lam now and goes
underground--literally--to her best friend Pennys basement. Has Tracy's
luck finally run out? Will she miss the final dance-off against Amber and
forfeit the title of "Miss Hairspray," or will she sing and dance her way
out of trouble again?
