Movie Review by B Movie Ben
July 1st, 2008

A timeless movie

Favorite Movie Quote: "Who wants a twig when you can climb the whole tree?"

This was a thoroughly enjoyable movie and the casting selection was excellent.

The music, songs, and choreography were all top notch. The lyrics were moving and I really felt stirred, especially when Queen Latifah was singing "Big, Blonde and Beautiful" and "I Know Where I've Been".

Michelle Pfeiffer was super as an aging beauty queen living vicariously through her daughter. John Travolta was brilliant as Edna. Christopher Walken and Amanda Bynes were also excellent choices for their characters.

It was funny, heartwarming, and had a message that is still important as we fight for equal rights for ALL Americans regardless of color, race, or sexual orientation.
