3 stars out of 5 -- "[You] get the off-kilter joy of Trav tripping the light flabtastic with screen hubby Christopher Walken. Their surprisingly touching believability as a couple is complemented by Blonsky's charm-stocked performance..." (Total Film, 07/01/2007, p.48, James White), "HAIRSPRAY is a fizzy and delirious high-camp message-movie musical that may turn out to be the happiest movie of the summer....The climactic number sends you out on a high." -- Grade: A- (Entertainment Weekly, 07/27/2007, p.48-49, Owen Gleiberman), 3 stars out of 4 -- "HAIRSPRAY is a consistently flashy, rousing and rambunctious movie spectacle....It's hard to keep a smile off your face and your toes tapping during this unpretentious and spirited adaptation..." (USA Today, 07/20/2007, p.2D, Claudia Puig), "[The songs] are sung with impeccable diction and unimpeachable conviction by a a lively young cast....HAIRSPRAY is so joyful, so full of unforced enthusiasm, that only the most ferocious cynic could resist it." (New York Times, 07/19/2007, p.E1, A. O. Scott), 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "HAIRSPRAY earns knockout status for its humor, heart and high spirits. As Tracy, trumpet-tonsiled newcomer Nikki Blonsky is a dynamo..." (Rolling Stone, 08/09/2007, p.97, Peter Travers), "HAIRSPRAY's confident combination of a Cinderella story with infectious tunes, all glossed with winking noughties irony and a feelgood message, has found our collective sweet spot." (Sight and Sound, 09/01/2007, p.58, Kate Stables), 4 stars out of 5 -- "Pfeiffer delivers a stinging performance....Zac Efron shines...while Elijah Kelley is sensational..." (Empire, 09/01/2007, p.53, Will Lawrence) |
