"Hairspray" spritizing to be a hit!

Baltimore Sun.com has a write up and they think Hairspray will be one of the best movies of the summer:


"Energy-plus: That's what Hairspray should offer moviegoers when it opens July 27.To judge from a 17-minute trailer New Line Cinema unspooled to Baltimore and Washington movie critics and entertainment writers yesterday, the filmmakers have succeeded in making a V-8 musical-comedy engine hit on all cylinders.

But they haven't lost the freshness, sass and charm of an exuberant early-'60s period piece that views rock and civil rights as the key ingredients of the American Teenage Revolution that turned popular culture into youth culture.

New Line knows Hairspray could be a potential global smash for a film company that hasn't had one since The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

I left the trailer with my appetite whetted to see more of Christopher Walken as Tracy's go-for-it dad Wilbur, Amanda Bynes as her goofy-gawky best friend Penny, Brittany Snow (of TV's late, lamented American Dreams) as witch-in-training Amber, and Michelle Pfeiffer as Velma Von Tussle, the witch who's training her...In fact, from top to bottom, Hairspray could be the least stiff film around."
