If you loved Rock of Ages, try Hairspray
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Adam Shankman, and they both carry the playful, uplifting mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rock of Ages, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Hairspray is
Baltimore, 1960s summer, a plus-sized teenager dancing in front of a TV. A local dance show auditions, she lands a spot, integration on her mind. Shankman makes a crowd-pleaser out of social commentary.
