Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) is an overweight teenager with all the right moves who is obsessed with the Corny Collins Show. Every day after school, she and her best friend Penny (Amanda Bynes) run home to watch the show and drool over the hot Link Larkin (Zac Efron), much to Tracy's mother Edna's (Travolta) dismay. After one of the stars of the show leaves, Corny Collins holds auditions to see who will be the next person on the Corny Collins show. With the help of her friend Seaweed (Elijah Kelly), Tracy makes it on the show, angering the evil dance queen Amber Von Tussle (Brittany Snow) and her mother Velma (Pfeiffer). Tracy then decides that it's not fair that the black kids can only dance on the Corny Collins Show once a month, and with the help of Seaweed, Link, Penny, Motormouth Maybelle (Queen Latifah), her father (Christopher Walken) and Edna, she decides to take action. desertcart.co.uk Review It's rare that a movie captures the intensity and excitement of a live Broadway musical production while appealing to a broader movie-going audience, but the 2007 Hairspray is an energetic, powerfully moving film that does just that. A re-make of the 1988 musical film Hairspray the new Hairspray is a film adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical and features more likeable characters than the original film and an incredible energy that stems from a great cast, fabulous new music, and the influence of musical producer Craig Zadan. What remains constant throughout all three versions of Hairspray is the story's thought-provoking exploration of prejudice and racism. Set in Baltimore in 1962, the film opens with chubby girl Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) singing her heart out in a rendition of "Good Morning Baltimore" that, while admittedly a bit too long, sets the farcical tone for the film. Viewers quickly become immersed in Tracy's teenage world of popular television dance shows, big hair, the stigma of being different, and the first hesitant steps toward racial integration within a segregated world. The Corny Collins (James Marsdon) television dance show is a teenage obsession in Tracy's world and Link Larkin (Zac Efron) is every girl's dream partner, so when a call for auditions goes out, Tracy skips school to try out, but is rejected by station manager Velma von Tussle (Michelle Pfeiffer) because of her large size and the threat of competition for Velma's own daughter Amber (Brittany Snow). Perseverance and the support of her friend Penny (Amanda Bynes), father Wilbur (Christopher Walken), and negro dancer Seaweed (Elijah Kelley) lead Tracy to the spotlight and the chance of a lifetime, but more and more Tracy discovers that fairness and equality for those who are different does not come without a fight and that sacrifices must be made to effect change. While the message is serious, Hairspray is first and foremost a comedy with stellar performances by John Travolta as Edna Turnblad (who ever imagined Saturday Night Fever's iconic star would appear onscreen as a woman?), Christopher Walken, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Part of what makes Hairspray so powerful is the exceptional music composed by Marc Shaiman, including songs newly composed for the movie like "Ladies' Choice," "The New Girl in Town," and "Come So Far," and the awesome vocal talents of Queen Latifah (Motormouth Maybelle) and a cast of heretofore musically-unknown actors like Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, and Brittany Snow who really can sing. Notable trivia includes Jerry Stiller's appearance in both versions of the film (as Wilbur in the 1988 film and as Mr. Pinky in this 2007 rendition), and a cameo appearance by 1988 director and screenplay writer John Waters. Hairspray is one of the best films of the year--it's powerfully moving entertainment that leaves you energized and motivated to fight for what you believe in. --Tami Horiuchi Review: Good all round family entertainment, plus John Travolta as a female makes it a great film to watch - If you haven't seen the original version don't worry you don't need to. If you have then at least you know the basics of how the film goes. "It's rare that a movie captures the intensity and excitement of a live Broadway musical production while appealing to a broader movie-going audience, but the 2007 Hairspray is an energetic, powerfully moving film that does just that. A re-make of the 1988 musical film Hairspray the new Hairspray is a film adaptation of the 2002 Broadway musical and features more likeable characters than the original film and an incredible energy that stems from a great cast, fabulous new music, and the influence of musical producer Craig Zadan. What remains constant throughout all three versions of Hairspray is the story's thought-provoking exploration of prejudice and racism. Set in Baltimore in 1962, the film opens with chubby girl Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) singing her heart out in a rendition of "Good Morning Baltimore" that, while admittedly a bit too long, sets the farcical tone for the film." I think the above statement gives you a good idea of what the actual film is about, but there is so much more than just a musical about prejudice and racism. For one you have John Travolta playing Tracy Turnblad's mother, yes you read right, John Travolta is dressed up like a women, talks like a women, in fact is a women all through this movie, and he does it very well. That for me was enough to make this film worth watching. If you are a fan of musicals you are bound to love this as well, its good a story that can easily stand the test of time, even though humanity has moved on from the prejudice of the 60's films like this are still an effective reminder even if done in a comical musical way. Zac Efron plays his part well, but then this wasn't long on from his High School Musical days so he was still in the 'teen musical' frame of actorship. James Marsden also plays his role well as the presenter of the TV show at the centre of all controversy. That's not all you have the likes of Michelle Pfeiffer playing the evil TV station boss that is obviously racist and dislikes Tracy Turnblad immensely she going out of her way to make sure things don't go how they should. The dancing, acting and singing, just make this whole movie a fun one to watch with all the family. Look out for some cameos roles from people that was in the previous version of this film. Some of the songs are the same or similar as the previous version, but enough new stuff, and a completely different take, make this different enough to be classed as difference. Review: THE BEST FILM EVA! XX - This film combines passionate opinions with magnificent songs. This has to be my favourite film ever and every time I see it, it makes me smile and want to boogie on down. John Travolta, Elijah Kelley, James Marsden and Zac Efron are excellent actors and have proved to be very good at singing in this film. As well as these, newcomer Nikki Blonsky is a very talented girl and portrayed Tracey Turnblad to a key. I hope this isn't the end for her as I believe she has great potential to make it big in Hollywood. Every time I have gone to see HAIRSPRAY, I have come out singing the hit tunes and with a huge grin on my face. I believe this film will appeal to everyone, no matter their age, or what their favourite genre is, you can't argue the fact that this revolutionary film will make you smile. :) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000V3WN92 | | Actors | Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken, James Marsden, John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer | | Aspect Ratio | 16:9 - 2.35:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,892 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 140 in Musical 870 in Comedy (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (4,914) | | Director | Adam Shankman | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Language | English | | Manufacturer reference | 5017239195228 | | Media Format | PAL | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Craig Zadan, Neil Meron | | Product Dimensions | 1.7 x 12 x 16.1 cm; 91 g | | Release date | 17 April 2019 | | Run time | 1 hour and 57 minutes | | Studio | Entertainment in Video | | Subtitles: | English | | Writers | Leslie Dixon | ## Product Details - **Format:** PAL - **Genre:** musical - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 57 minutes ## Images ![Hairspray (2007) [DVD] [2017] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sjtdFgYBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good all round family entertainment, plus John Travolta as a female makes it a great film to watch *by D***L on 26 January 2016* If you haven't seen the original version don't worry you don't need to.

I think all young girls should watch this as the real message is that it doesn't matter what your appearance is its that you think for yourself and stick to your guns is what makes you interesting and attractive is very well delivered we shall no doubt wear this dvd out and i am now getting the soundtrack to wear that out too. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hairspray (2007) [DVD] - Grease - Mamma Mia! 2-Movie Collection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49342189-hairspray-2007-dvd-2017](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/49342189-hairspray-2007-dvd-2017) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
