The Hairspray is a lively, cheerful musical dealing with very important themes of segregation and body acceptance, but still retaining an irresistible charm. This movie is based on 1960s Baltimore and follows Tracy Turnblad, a teenager with big dreams who fights her way to place herself on the popular dance show of television and for racial integration. With a star-studded cast featuring Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, Queen Latifah, and Zac Efron, the movie's electrifying performances and catchy tunes such as "You Can't Stop the Beat" proved an instant hit.
