USA/UK
Feature Film
Director: Adam Shankman
Writers: Leslie Dixon, John Waters, Thomas Meehan, Mark O'Donnell
Cinematographer: Bojan Bazelli
Composer: Marc Shaiman
Cast: Nikki Blonsky, John Travolta, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, Michelle Pfeiffer, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, Queen Latifah, James Marsden

Based on Meehan and O'Donnell’s Broadway musical, which itself was based on John Waters’s 1988 film, Adam Shankman’s ebullient, thoroughly entertaining ‘60s set musical follows the progress of a plump Baltimore teenager, as she attempts to follow her dream of dancing on The Corny Collins Show, just as her social conscience is awakened by the racial inequality that she finds around her.
