Its success owe much to its excellent balance of great dance numbers and ample character development for nearly everyone. To start with, the singing and dancing Tracey is so beautiful and so plus size! Then it is her classmates' turn, the vibrant black youths in the detention class, singing even more beautifully and leap so high in the air. When Mrs. Turnblad (John Travolta) showed up with her feminine features, not to mention her adorable and modest demeanor, that's worth zillions of laughs. The scene Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad (Christopher Walken) singing in the backyard can be so romantic. But I love the finale best - the way John Trovolta moves and bends, Queen Lativah sings and the group dancers twirl round and round unbelievably fast.
And one big surprise, the 2 dance lessons in the bonus features given by the choreographers are eye-opening. I won't be able to perform the "camel pull" and "chicken" sequence. However, I can admire those dancers even more than the main characters. All right, maybe Mrs. Turnblad's final dance is still more hilarious!
