Movie: Despite her plump figure, Tracy wants to take part in a TV dance show. Her mother Edna (John Travolta!) advises against it, but her father (Christopher Walken) is more supportive. Tracy makes it onto the show, but meets fierce competition.

A highly amusing musical with an all-star cast.

PICTURE QUALITY:
"Hairspray" is a feel-good movie that also looks good, with plenty of HD pizzazz — powerful colours, high plasticity, great depth of focus, and brilliant costume work — but actors’ faces look slightly blurred at times.

Dynamic dance interludes repeatedly transform the living room or home cinema into a Broadway theatre.
