Quote: "I think knowing you is the start of a pretty big adventure."

Based on the hit 2002 Broadway musical that was based on the John Waters' 1988 film, the film returns once more on the big screen as a bigger and more splashier cinematic event. We experience the musical adventure of Tracy Turnblad (Nikko Blonsky), who stops at nothing to fulfill her dream as a dancer on a none-integrated 60s dance show called "The Corny Collins Show", despite the fact that she's not like everyone else. Tracy's experiences also lead to the revolution of African-Americans wanting to be on TV too and the barrier that pretty boys don't always like the pretty girls...they like the pretty big ones.
