"HAVING NOTHING BUILDS CHARACTER!"
"Oh, God, every Christians morals."
As a Christian, I spat out my drink laughing.
Omg same! 😂
James Marsden was EVERYTHING in this role, I love him as Corny so much! So gorgeous and charismatic
"You better brace yourselves for a whole lot of ugly coming at you from a never ending parade of stupid. "
"So you've met my mom"
This is hands down the best line in the entire movie!
Did anyone else get confused he still had Atlantis in the background? Hahaha I was like whaaaaa
Same I was so confused
Yes I was like well that’s different 💁🏻♀️
I just love you all for noticing the background change(even when I forget to change it lmao) ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰
@@MoviesinDepth i mean, only og’s would know💁🏻♀️ Love your content bro
Thought I clicked on the wrong video
"Youll better be ready because this is basically gonna be a singing along."
Me to my friends when In The Heights hits the cinema.
YES EXACTLY
11:10+11:11+11:12+11:13+11:14
Haha I can’t wait for that movie
*cough* video incoming *cough*
YESSS
Fun fact: The flasher is John Waters who directed the 1988 movie (and played the psychiatrist who Penny's mother hired to have her committed to a mental hospital)
🤯🤯🤯
Which is waaaayyyy better than this one.
I was in middle school when this movie came out and as a plus sized 13 year old with a massive (and I mean MASSIVE) crush on Zac Efron, this movie was my absolute bread and butter lol 😂 I got the DVD for my birthday and I rewatched it so many times I memorized the entire movie line by line! Definitely in my top fave movies
As a fat theater nerd kid myself when I saw this movie in theaters, I burst into tears when she first fully appeared on screen. I finally felt seen ❤
The Flasher was John Waters who wrote the original Hairspray.
Wait hUh there's an original???? 0-0 I thought this Hair spray (2007) was the only one 😭😳
@@laylaandthemoonwalker7337 😲 hopefully you find and watch the original 1988 film 'Hairspray' starring Ricki Lake, Divine, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono, Colleen Fitzpatrick, Michael St. Gerard and so many more!
The Broadway version came out in 2002, which of course, gave us this musical version of 'Hairspray'.
YESSS!! When Velma Von Tussle said "Mother Knows Best", Mother Goethel popped right into my head!!!
james marsden was one of my first celeb crush because of his voice in this and enchanted 13 years later and i’m still in love with him
"John Travolta got CAKE!!!!" ... I swear I'm gonna work this into an actual conversation one day.
Unfortunately the hair height thing is still in effect, but it’s mostly for people with naturally curly hair. And their emphasis on Afro hair🙄 Other than that love the video
Yesss! I'm so happy more people are reacting to this musical! Even with how 'old' it is, the message is still super needed and relevant today.
My favourite part is probably the moment Tracy goes into detention the first time. Getting that funkalisious music and dance with the black kids is just so great
Favorite part of this is the entire ending from when Tracy comes in for the final danceoff. It is a non stop slow build from then on. And it just doesn't stop. Just when you think they're going to call it, they key change, bring in 20 more people and make it bigger. It's incredibly empowering because everyone just keeps finally being themselves and not caring any more. Link dancing with Ines is such an awesome moment.
So much talent in this. But several of them went well above and beyond. Marsden sells it and then keeps going. Travolta went all in on his role. Amanda Bynes... damnit I miss her. She was so good. Efron... he's turned out to be a pretty solid actor, who can legitimately sing pretty damn good. Marsden has the greatest facial expressions. And he just nailed it in Enchanted as well. His eye roll at Amber dancing. And how quickly he just adapts to changing times willingly and happily. He doesn't care who dances when and where... he just wants to make his show.
Well it’s still an era where hair height is policed. When I used to wear my hair naturally I couldn’t have it be too poofy so other kids could see. So moreso black women are usually the ones who are affected by it now.
Its originally written by John Waters. That would explain the dark, gross humor, topics on race and dating outside of the standard beauty norms.
He's the flasher.
I was born and raised in Baltimore, so I remember very well when the 1988 original "Hairspray!" was released. The "flasher" in the opening number is John Walters, the guy who wrote and directed the original (which discovered a then unknown Rikki Lake as the original Tracy Turnblad), plus it was based on a real dance show broadcasted in the 1960s in Baltimore known as "The Buddy Deane Show." So this brings back a LOT of memories for my childhood, including Travolta's dead-on Baltimore accent.
This movie is even more iconic bc John Travolta was in the first Grease movie and Michelle Pfeiffer (Velma Von Tussle) was in the second Grease movie!!
one part i never even thought about as a kid is how at the end, amber was kinda getting it on with one of the black dancers 👀👀
The way he said "you wholesome little biscuit" i laughed WAY too hard at that😂
You should do a Corny Collins cover like you did with the Julie and the Phantoms cover!
"you've been in there for 9 years?! how are you not translucent at this point?!"
Me: laughs in covid times
Corny is hands down the best character in this musical!
3:34 I remember being a little 11-year-old watching this and never ever hearing of a drag queen or a man being a woman in theater and I walked out of this movie asked my mom where John Travolta was I didn't see him anywhere (yes I knew what he looked like my mom let me see grease or I stumbled upon it on tv) and she told me he was the mom I thought that was cool
Tracy: "ooh oh oh woke up today, feeling the way I always do!"
Me thinking about possibly everything the moment I get up: Do I have to get up? Why couldn't I have done my homework last night? someone shut my dog up. I don't want to deal with people today.
If you never seen the original Hairspray, pleaseeeee watch it. The guy Mr pinky is in it and THE legendary miss Divine in it. Fun fact. She's the inspiration for Ursula
Love this musical! It is odd seeing Zac in this then in Greatest Showman and John going from Grease to this but they just get better and better as time goes on.
The guy who played seaweed, i believe also played characters in movies about the temptations
This whole movie is a bop. Loved this.
One of my faves 😁
I suggest Legally Blonde the musical - MTV done a pro shot..please can we have a commentary on that.
One of my favourite musicals 🥰🥰
Yesss HAIRSPRAY! Please watch more musical movies in the future ❤️👏🏻
During the march scenes is truly beautiful and inspiring scene, I wish we could look at life like that again instead of what's going on in the world today's bulltshit.
I LOVED this movie! This was my favourite of Zac Efron's roles.
I love to see someone else geek out over this movie! It is one of my favorites of all time! Seaweed and Mama Maybelle are two of my favorite characters in musical theatre and they are played to perfection here. I also love the little Easter eggs that the director put in to the first movie and the Broadway show. I have been in this and coached this show with smaller travelling productions but I really want to see it on Broadway when it is back and we can travel. Thanks for covering it and for geeking out just as much as me!
Love Queen Latifah!!! She made the movie for me.
Save your personal life for the camera Kris Jenner is that you 🤣
Literally my thought 🤣
Seaweed has the kind of voice that would make Freddie Mercury jealous
I grew up watching the original which I adore. I remember I was annoyed when they remade it and refuse to watch it for awhile. I eventually did and I really enjoyed it. When my son was little he wouldn’t watch hardly anything. This movie always caught his attention.
Ps I don’t know if anyone knew that one of the agents is Ricky Lake who played Tracy in the original Hairspray. 😊
When you said "Imagine going from Grease to this", it occurred to me it's also kind of a merging of Grease 1 and 2 with both John Travolta and Michelle Pfeiffer together in it.
I also read that they called "You Can't Stop the Beat" "You Can't Stop to Breathe" because it's so hard to sing and do the choreography with so many words in the song, and that made me wonder how much harder it was for John Travolta to sing in that suit.
OMG! I never noticed before, but in that shot of the agents, was the woman agent the original Tracy, Ricki Lake? Or am I just imagining it? I Googled it and it WAS!
My favorite movie musicals are technically not traditional musicals even though they were usually found in the musical section of video stores; Fame, Flashdance, and Footloose! Though they did eventually come out with Broadway musicals of Fame and Footloose (not sure about Flashdance). But Grease and this one are definitely favorites too. I was in high school when Grease came out and I really identified with wanting to remake yourself into a cool kid to fit in. Not the best moral to a story, but fun. Also maybe the movie version of A Chorus Line if only for the song "What I Did for Love". And just about any Disney musical, but especially the modern ones, Lion King, Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Mulan, Hercules, Frozen, and Tangled (I haven't got around to seeing the more recent ones like Moana). Oh, and Rent if only for "Seasons of Love", Dear Evan Hansen, and the Greatest Showman; songs from those musicals really get me in the heart.
I was so excited when I saw this! Hairspray is amazing. Also I didn’t realize how well you could sing! When you were singing with the movie I was like um yes. Can we get you to sing on the channel more please?
If I remember correctly he mentioned he was involved in theatre before so naturally I think he knows how to sing and perform etc
@@Entxq_ I’m fairly new to the channel so I didn’t know that. It just caught me off guard.
@@TheFairestFangirl i think in this video itself he mentioned he did musical theatre tho haha
@@Entxq_ well yeah but I didn’t quite expect such an amazing voice. It caught me off guard in a good way. Cant I just compliment him? Lol.
@@TheFairestFangirl lmao I was just stating on why he could be good at singing that’s all chill haha
I love hairspray
I will always love this movie!! The ending song makes me so happy.
I think my favorite moment in the movie is at the end when Penny says "I am now a checker board chick" and then kisses Seaweed full on the mouth on live tv and her mom goes "PENNY NO!" and falls over the ottoman trying to get to her tv like that gonna do anything. Ha ha ha ha.
I watched this literally yesterday, and I sung my heart out!! 🥰
Personally this was just one movie that I saw once and said “I’m OK with only seeing it once.” Kind of like secondhand Lions. That was a good movie but I saw it once and was like “I don’t need to reminisce anything”
You are hilarious and should have way more subscribers!
You should also check out the live action version of the wiz. The guy who plays seaweed is a killer scarecrow and the costumes and casting is amazing
Juno! Please, please do a Juno commentary 🤰🍔🪑🎸
I love Hairspray the last time I watched it was last year my fave characters were Tracy, Seeweed, his sister and queen latifah
I have seen this and the show production of this show and it is one of my favourite musicals love your videos ❤️
I never clicked so fast oh my god this is my favorite musical
This is the go to musical for dance vibes! The beat just gets to you and you can’t help but want to dance!!!🤗
THIS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL EVERRRR. I get chills every time. I could basically recite the whole movie. Also another musical you should watch on the channel “Into the Woods”
I'm so glad I found you, I don't usually like reaction videos, but yours make me laugh and I like watching them while I'm working throughout the day. I get some weird looks from my co-workers when I start giggling xD
Favorite part of Hairspray hmm... between Welcome to the 60's when Edna comes out for the first time (SOOO cute) and pretty much any Corny Collins moments
I don’t know if anyone ever notices this, but the female agent you see in the audience is Ricki Lake. She played Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 original.
Literally when that guy sprayed Amber with hairspray I heard the sound of a slap 😂
I watched this in theaters in 2007 and it was my favorite musical until I watched Hamilton in 2020.
I love Hairspray. Please react to more musicals like Grease, Dirty Dancing, Footloose and Sound of Music. Ps I also think you'd be a great Corney Collins. There's also Kangaroo Jack which Christopher Walkin is also in it's super funny.
One of my favorite movies! I remember seeing in in the drive in in Cape Cod. LOVE IT!
That is EVERYTHING
Personally love singing in the rain and gentlemen prefer blondes, would love to see you react to those!
Singing in the rain is my favorite classical musical of all time♥️
I saw this movie 3 times in theaters when it came out. I love this movie.
I love that Nikki was born the same year that the original film was released!!
Greatest musical ever
My favorite scene is when cornie brings ms maebel( spelling?) onto the stage
This is such an underappreciated musical. So fun to see this commentary
Bring on that PEACON PIE!!
This movie was a massive successful Broadway musical about a heavyweight high school girl who gets a chance to be part of a music dance group
love your review!!!
i was the rehearsal drummer in Toronto for the movie & also playing on the opening number Good Morning Baltimore, Nicest Kids, I Can Hear The Bells & It Takes Two :)
That’s AMAZING!! Thank you so much for watching!!
I also watched this movie on repeat. I had quite a crush on Zach Efron back then.
I’ve never been this early!!!! Heyyy 🥰
your musicals reactions are my favourite! mamma mia singalong next pleasee
for years when i was younger i thought the song seaweed sings "run and tell that" was called "Run and tell dad"
This is a great movie and one of my favorite things about it is that Corny was always all for change and integration and his support of Maybelle and how overjoyed he was when Inez was announced as the winner of Mrs. Hairspray.
If you want to react to a more underrated musical movie, then you should do Producers or Scrooge (1970).
Yes. The Producers (2005) is amazing.
@@DamnQuilty Yes. Mel Brooks. Anything Mel Brooks.
I always wanted the Corny Collins show to be real it was my dream as a kid
"The fact that we just normalized a flasher living next door - I can't."
....No, the fact that you just referred to the flasher without mentioning the fact that it was the legendary John Waters, the director/writer of the original 1988 film (and the person who originated Tracy's father and his HARDY-HAR HUT)? No. I CAN'T.
I still think about the cameo from Nikki Blonsky telling someone happy bday then apologizing that they got hit by a car while listening to the nicest kids in town and she said "i wasn't in that number tho"
I saw this movie a long time ago and liked it but apparently I forgot about 90% of it. (I had no idea Zac Efron was in it?) This was a great refresher and so now I feel like I should watch it again! The biggest thing I remember is that it takes place in Baltimore, Maryland. When I saw it, that was the first time I'd ever heard of that city and there was a whole musical number to go with it, so ever since, every time I see "Baltimore" I think of Hairspray.
i own this movie on dvd and watch it regularly! and also the nbc live performance, i love that, during the parade song, you can see link (played by gareet clayton from teen beach movie) genuinely crying and i think about that a lot
Kris Jenner to all her kids: “Save your personal life for the cameras sweetie”
Starring Tracy Turnblad as a heavyset girl who dreams of becoming one of the cool kids in town. When she gets the gig during the 1960's racial separation movement she becomes a signal of racial equality
My friend played Seaweed in my local musical theater when we did, 'Hairspray'
Am from Toronto and I love seeing it in movies
The live version of this with Ariana Grande as Penny was 😘😘 chef’s kiss.
"Save your personal life for the camera" literally family vlog channels lmao. Hairspray was ahead of its time for a multitude of reasons 😂
My high school did a production of Hairspray a couple years ago. Which is impressive in a majority Hispanic city like San Antonio
John Travolta loved playing Tracy's mother
I'm surprised he didn't notice or say anything about Ricky Lake sitting in the audience as one of the Judges. She played Tracy in the original Hairspray movie from 1988.
22:09
“YYYEEEAAH, RIP IT OFF JOHNNY BOY!”
As I started this I immediately imagined you as Corny! You need to be on stage with this!
I've seen this movie more times that I can count. It's one of my favourites movie. Penny Pingleton is my dream (Musical theatre) roll to play.
I still have this movie on DVD.
A few more dad jokes and you’ll most certainly be Corny 😛 was hoping from more singing from you though… I was waiting to swoon 😊
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that this was a sing-along 😁
The guy in the car with her is the choreographer of the film.
My favorite reaction of yours, mostly because I adore this movie hahaha
I did musical theater when I was younger
Gonna give you 2 musicals I love.
1 - "Into the Woods". Not the 2014 movie but the filmed stage version with Bernadette Petters (1987 or 1988). Great show. The DVD came out in 1991, but you can find it on TH-cam.
2 - "The Slipper and the Rose" 1977. It's a Cinderella story, but it's more focused on the prince (Richard Chamberlain) who is being pressured to marry for the sake of the kingdom, not for love. Great movie, wonderful music. I really hope you react to it. So underrated.
No more from Into the woods (stage version) is my go to audition song. That show is iconic.
@@MoviesinDepth Have you ever watched 'The Slipper and the Rose"? Great movie, especially the music. The songs are so cleverly written. It's so underrated.
I Know where I’ve Been and Run and Tell That are probably my top two favorite songs from this movie, but I also loved pretty much all of the other songs except for Mrs. Baltimore Crabs.
My favorite is when she sings he touched me
