Hairspray the movie.

I was told that Hairspray is a very funny movie, so my bf and I decided to catch it at One Utama yesterday night. He said a friend of his raved about the movie, and that it's a must watch. After tarpaoing a hotdog, large serve of chicken balls, cheezels and F&N strawberry, we went into the cinema.

The movie started with a fatty girl (who's also the lead) singing for at least 5 minutes about how much she loves Baltimore. When the girl were singing after about 1.5 minutes into the show, I looked at my bf and told him his friend may have bluffed him into watching a crappy movie. My bf doesn't like musicals. The last musical we caught was a Chinese musical, and he really suffered, trust me. He immediately sent a text message to send some love to his friend who recommended the show to him.

So the fatty girl stopped singing, and I told my bf perhaps this is just the front part, until John Travolta started singing too. Yah, there are a lot of big shots in this movie, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walker... then there are cute noobs like Amanda Byrnes. James Marsden... all of them sang and danced in the movie. It's really quite a sight to see Michelle Pfeiffer doing the cha cha. I'm in love with her!!!

BTW, John Travolta played a fat woman in Hairspray, superfat and superfunny. The most memorable line from the show has to be from Amanda Byrnes. She fell in love with a black guy, kissed him on TV, and exclaimed "I'm a checkerboard chick!!" I thought that was priceless. She acted so dizzy and cute in the movie, I have to say she's my favourite character!

I really enjoyed Hairspray although my movie partner didn't, and I would recommend this show to the chicks, and to those who love musicals. The songs and the dancings were so contagious! The girls are gorgeous, their dresses and makeups perfect. I will definitely buy the movie soundtrack. That's right, I said BUY the soundtrack, not download it.

My second favourite character in the movie is Michelle Pfeiffer. She's so hot and stuck up and classy. She really a gorgeous babe. I think she's hotter than Jessica Alba.
