hilarious!! Michelle Pfeiffer is perfectly cast. Music is
great too.

Great movie, enjoyable, you can't help but smile as you
watch it, and leave the show. I've seen it twice, going for
third time tonite - highly recommended for early teens to
100 years old!

I thought it was an excellent movie. I thought some parts
were weird, but i would love to see it again.
I loved the music and dancing and i thought it was inspiring.

I loved the movie and while I didn't LOVE Travolta's
singing, I didn't hate it either. I do think that he gave
the roll a more feminine look than Divine did in the
original as he wore actual clothes instead of mumus.
I thought Nikki Blonsky as Tracy was a very good choice and
as she is a newcomer to the silver screen, I am very
impressed. Her spunk jumped off the screen and it was nice
to see the unconventional girl, the fat girl, get the guy.
Also I have to admit I did like Zac Effron despite his HSM
fame and, in my opinion crappiness. I was pleasantly
surprised at his skill since HSM pretty much sucked.
The rest of the cast was wonderful, the casting couldn't
have been done better. Michelle Pfiffer as Velma Von Tussel
was inspired and I am thrilled to see her come back after
her little break.

When I first saw the previews for this movie I was a little
worried that it would be too cheesy or overdone. I worried
an Amanda Bynes, Zac Effron and Queen Latifah movie might be
a disaster but I was very pleasantly surprised. Bynes'
character was cute, Effron did a fantastic job, and Queen
Latifah was unusually real. Everybody was just brilliant.
Shankman did a wonderful job creating a charming, energetic,
genuine film that is just plain infectious and an absolute
favorite!

I refuse to let my children see a John Water's film.

I loved this show! the singing is the best! oh man it gave
me chills! it was a fun and smart show! I totally am going
to go see it again! except it was way weird seeing john
travolta as a woman, and there didn't really need to be that
dance seen with him and his hubby, but besides that the
dancing and singing was so tight!

I agree with Heidi - fantastic show, much more entertaining
than I expected. I think Travolta was great, newcomer Nikki
Blonski really plays Tracy to a "T"! The music is the big
star, I bought the soundtrack and listen to it everywhere!

I echo all of Heidi's sentiments. In addition, I took my two
daughters, ages 5 and 7. We all loved the music and energy.
They are asking to see it again. The message and music make
it a must-see for the whole family.

I absolutely loved the movie! The music...I can't wait to
buy the soundtrack. I loved the plots throughout...what a
fun musical. Now John Travolta...he was just OK. The other
leads really stole the show.

never seen it before. lol
HEIDI | Jul. 23, 2007
I saw this movie Saturday and really enjoyed it..... Even
John Travolta. Not being at all familiar with the story or
anything, I was pleasantly surprised with the message of
the film. It's hard for me and my children to understand
that bigotry existed in the sixties and even to some extent
today but the movie is a reminder that there are bigotries
of all kinds not just the color of skin. Loved the music,
and especially the Tracy Turnbo character. This is a
definite buy DVD when it comes out.
