Hairspray (2007)
Hairspray has some good comedy, a lot actually, and plenty of singing and dancing. Travolta is great and so is Christopher Walken, finally in a light-hearted role. The focus on race for the main storyline was unexpected. Going into the movie, I dreaded seeing a story about fat kids fitting in, but looking back, all the best humor related to eating and being big. The race thing did not need to take center stage. This film is worth seeing, if only for John Waters' cameo as a (spoiler alert) flasher.

I concur fully. In fact I may have been the first to write a review, if I hadn't been so lazy. The further fact is that I saw Hairspray on opening day.
I was really pleased and laughed out loud when most of my companions were clueless. See the really funny part of the movie was that I chose to go see it because I thought it would be more promising than I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Luckily I was right.
I only went, not because it was mandatory for the theatre camp I was working at this summer, but because it was expected.
So Good Morning Baltimore! Go suck dick Chuck & Larry.
EDIT: Maybe that should be a sketch comedy group: Suck, Dick, Chuck, & Larry.
