It feels like a normal movie, not worth watching

The main conflicts are probably as follows: 1. The heroine is not liked by the people around her because of her obesity, and her love for music, singing and dancing from the inside out finally won her the heart of the male lead. 2. The heroine's mother was rejected because of her obesity and was timid and inferior. 3. The unbridgeable gulf between blacks and whites. 4. On the basis of 3, the story of the second female (white, the heroine's good friend) falling in love with the black.
From the story, it is very interesting, and even raised the general youth musical to the humanistic height of expressing racial discrimination. However, there are too many cumbersome singing and dancing scenes in the whole article, which have no effect (or little effect) on the promotion of the plot; the emotional line between the male protagonist and the female protagonist is very unclear, lacking the ignorance of the most basic love of youth singing and dancing; overemphasis The feelings of the heroine's parents seem to be trying to tell the audience that obesity is not a factor that hinders getting love, but it is too vague; the emotional line between the heroine's good friend and black people is also not cute, it seems to be to express ethnic integration. Arranged together; the heroine ends up participating in the coveted "Miss Hairspray" contest with the help of a black man, but is inexplicably crowned by a black little sister. The whole clue is very confusing, the content is vague, there are too many things to express, but in the end it is self-defeating, and I am very disappointed that even the most basic youth musicals can not express.
