Hairspray, with John Travolta.
God, this movie was amazing. The costumes, the acting, the MUSIC, the make-up, scenery... everything. I bought the soundtrack first and listened to it religously, so I was really expecting something that knocked my pink-with-monkeys-on-them socks off. And I was delivered just that. I HAVE to sing the praises of the make-up artist(s) here-- you could barely tell that Edna Turnblad was John Travolta.
Nikki Blonsky was great, too-- she has one heck of a singing voice and could be an amazing role model-- she's not what most people would consider "pretty" but she aspires to succeed and puts the pretty girls to shame.
Fantastic all the way around.
