If you loved The Wackness, 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

Theysit in Comedy / Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wackness, 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.
