rating: 5 Quotefantastic movie. nothing like the travolta version.Quote
this is a fantastic movie. it's campy and fun and very positive. this movie is a well known and much loved classic. it's entertaining for adults and appropriate for kids (if you're familiar with john waters and have some reservations) my preteen daughter showed it to her friends at her birthday party, and all the girls got up to try out the dances and giggled their heads off. how anyone could even think of comparing it to the travolta crap is beyond me, let alone like the other one better. this is the movie that started the whole thing. the broadway play was ripped off from this movie, and that other version is ripped off from the broadway play. this version is better in every respect. better cast, better writing, better costumes, better music. ricki lake is awesome.

The movie was good. Unfortunately, I watched it after watching the musical remake and that impacted my opinion. The story line was good. I'm not disappointed in the purchase. July 21, 2008

Hairspray is a John Waters satire. This film works because of the film's unlikely star, Ricki Lake (her feature film debut). Lake brings warmth and spunk to the role of plump teenager Tracy Turnbland. Divine and Sonny Bono also star. Also look for singer Vitamin C aka Colleen Fitzpatrick. The musical remake is even better. I highly recommend this fun flick, enjoy! June 13, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteSimply the bestQuote
This is the only version I love. Deborah Harry is hilarious. Love the dance scenes. I fell in love with this movie when it first came out. The movie based on the play just can't compare to this movie, for me it is simply the best. May 25, 2008
