2007

This was such a great movie. At first I wasn't very interested in seeing it. I was a little put off by the idea of John Travolta playing a woman, but after I got used to that, it was really great. It is completely cheesy, as any good musical should be. The main character of the movie, Nikki Blonsky, absolutely stole the show. She was fantastic. I can't wait to see more of her in upcoming movies. Not only is her voice phenomenal, but she is a great actress. Where has she been??!! You will not be disappointed by the fun songs and great message. You do, of course, need to be a fan of musicals. Enjoy!
