Better Then High School Musical. Nuff Said.

I checked the Golden Globe nominations for the 2008 version of the award show and I noticed a new name on the list of the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture category. The name was Nikki Blonsky from the movie Hairspray. I have watched the movie before but I never really knew who was who in the movie except for John Travolta and Queen Latifah. So, I checked who the person was. To my surprise it is the big cheerful girl named Tracy Turnblad. I am so excited that she got the nomination. She did very well in the movie and she really made the movie fun to watch. Her positive attitude and enthusiasm made the movie a happy one.

Nikki Blonsky

To refresh our memory, the movie is about a high school girl who really loves dancing and watching “The Corny Collins Show.” One day, her dream to be on the show comes true. However, there are obstacles that she has to face before reach the top. This is the story of not only her dream but also the people surrounding her to be fulfilled. The movie is interesting to watch and like other musical type movies, very dramatic. Almost all main characters get to sing a song in the musical. Besides that, the transition from normal dialogue to song is smooth. This is a good show which has very colorful character personalities (John Travolta – for example).

Rating: 8.5/10
