June 1, 2009 James Simmonds 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Well what can I say, probably the best stage to screen musical transfer ever. Never a dull moment. One of the reasons I love being a projectionist is showing a gem like this! I wanted all the audience to walk out singing and dancing to You Can't Stop the Beat. Flawless casting, even Christopher Walken is in good tune with Your Timeless to Me. I would worry if someone said they didn't enjoy it. YOU MUST BUY THIS! Fab Blu-ray transfer too! AMAZING September 18, 2009 Mr Craig P Dicken i went to cinema to watch this expecting rubbish, i was amazed with how good this film is, and i love action films. essential for everyone. blu ray speaks for itself, ace! The new "Grease" for today? October 18, 2009 Richard B This is a great little film. The Blu-Ray release is pretty much reference quality picture-wise (and the DTS MA audio isn't too shabby either). The songs are excellent, with "I know where I've been" being the standout. br / br /Buy it! A fun movie and a superb BluRay release July 4, 2008 Mr. D. Britton 12 out of 14 found this review helpful This is not the sort of movie I go for, but having read a few glowing reviews elsewhere about the film and the quality of picture and sound, and given that it is selling for well under £10, I thought I'd try it.br /If you don't like musicals then its best to avoid, but I don't mind them and hoped this would be entertaining part of the film. br /From the outset, the movie is crammed with songs, maybe one or two could be better or one or two less for me, and a little more dialogue. I felt it became a bit too broadway,but seeing as this is taken from the stageshow I can see how it's turned out that way.br /Some people are saying it's the new Grease or some are going OTT and saying it's better, but I can report IMO, it's not in the same Grade. br /On the upside though, I was entertained, even though this is bubblegum stuff that's more of a girlie movie for most of it, I wish John Travolta had been the father and not in a fatsuit in drag, maybe he could have danced better then but thankfully Chirtopher Walken and Michelle Pfeifer play very decent parts and keep the movie from being too cheesy. I thought Michelle Pfeifer in particular was great, she has some really good scenes and wished she was in it more.br /Other than that the plot gets a little dull sometimes mainly focusing on the musical numbers and could have been crafted a little better with more character involvement.br /The Best thing about this BluRay apart from it being great value and having two discs, is it doesn't dissapoint with Picture or Sound Quality, br /Each is absoulutely fatastic brimming with detail and colour - by God, the colours are so vibrant it's like your tv has maxed out on it. You might even want to turn down the colour setting on your tv as its so intense,I didn't but felt like it sometimes or putting it on a cool setting, just to make things a little more natural. It wasn't too distracting though and suited the poppy musical numbers.br /The sound is awesome and has the full 7.1 treatment, but I don't know what it's like as I had to settle for my 5.1 speakers, though this is quite enough and extremely high quality.br /The Extra's are overflowing - great for the little featurettes and extra deleted scenes and songs.br /All in all a very entertaining movie - not one for me personally to watch over and over, I much prefer Grease, but I can see quite a lot of kids and girls loving this and wanting to watch it time and time again, although not every song floated my boat, they were fun to watch and most of the actors gave very good performances. I may watch it every so often just for Pfeifer.br /Verdict - Well worth the money under a tenner, superb value, Entertaining performers, Good Songs,5 Star picture and sound. Hairspray- Blu-ray February 20, 2009 Spider Monkey (UK) `Hairspray' manages to achieves exactly what it set out to do, be a larger than life, colourful and fun musical movie. This film has a pretty great cast, what with Travolta as a woman, Christopher Walken as a gentle, encouraging dad, pfeiffer as the bitchy station manager, as well as Queen Latifah, Zak Efron and the great Nikki Blonksy as the main character Tracy. This film is full of catchy tunes and great dance routines and although I hate to say it my feet were tapping on more than one occasion. The main story is pretty light hearted (miss hairspray pageant), with a serious theme underneath (racial integration) and manages to mix both well without being too heavy or too cheesy. Everyone plays their roles well and although some songs are better than others, it manages to be a pretty good musical and if you're a fan of the genre this should be right up your street. I'm not a huge fan of musicals and I still found this to be pretty good! This shake and shimmy edition has an extras disc that has a sing-along feature, as well as a menu where you are taught the dance moves from the film. This allows those hardcore fans to dance and sing along each time they watch the film, a good idea even if not for me! Well worth a try. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
