4.0 out of 5 stars Well made, surprisingly in-depth, February 18, 2009

By	Sergio Morales (Levittown, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Nikki Blonsky plays a teenage girl trying to become homecoming queen despite the fact that she isn't a "model" figure. She's overweight, has a overprotected mother who while having genuine care for her daughter's health, still comes off as controlling and discriminatory with her approach.
The fat-acceptance movement in America has been looking for something that best expresses the viewpoint of overlooking stereotypes, and I would say that they probably aren't going to find a better outlet or voice in their argument than this movie. Nikki plays a fat girl, but a REAL one, and yes, she DOES have a somewhat eating/snacking problem that has caused a lot of her weight, but she also does have friends who love her, does hold love for herself despite her flaws, and isn't a princess the despite the fact that she's the "underdog." The movie does portray her mistakes she makes with her friends and goes to show that an underdog, fat or not, does make the same mistakes anyone else does and is really no different from anyone else.
It's a cute and warm movie that people as a whole will geniunely like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Centenary College of Louisiana & Nikki Blonsky, November 5, 2008

By	Christy J. Wrenn "Academic Book Lady" (Bossier City, LA USA) - See all my reviews

This is A great movie for the whole family to watch. Anne Potts does a great job playing an overworked, too busy, neglectful mom who pushes her teenage daughter to take care of her younger brother. Nikki Blonsky of the movie "Hairspray" is the overweight, used, teen daughter who has no social life who decides to run for prom queen with the help of her friends. No thanks to her "bad girl" enemies in school, has more difficulties than any teenager should have to put up with. However, this wonderfully talented young woman does prevail and does wear the crown of queen for her school.
