DVD Reviews of Hairspray

DVD Review: Good
Summary: 3 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Campy fun.
Summary: 4 Stars

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!

DVD Review: GREAT MOVIE
Summary: 5 Stars

THANK YOU FOR A GREAT MOVIE AT A GREAT PRICE AND WAS VERY PLEASED THAT IS ARRIVED IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. SINCERELY, JODI

DVD Review: Simply the best
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

DVD Review: Hairspray
Summary: 5 Stars

This was the first Hairspray movie I ever saw and the best. The other movie is good but I liked the first one and now I have my very own.

Description of Hairspray

Comedy in which two \""girls\"" compete for the star position on Baltimore's Corny Collins dance show.
Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 7-SEP-2004
Media Type: DVD

John Waters made his bid for PG respectability with this enjoyably trashy comedy about the racial integration of a teen dance show on Baltimore television in the early '60s. Waters, as always, makes a virtue of junk culture and the powerful emotional forces it can represent as kids vie to get on the show. Meanwhile, a parade of former stars (Pia Zadora, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono) and pseudostars (Divine, Ricki Lake) cross the screen, playing freakish characters absorbed by thoughts of fame. (Waters himself turns up as a weirdo psychiatrist.) This transitional film for Waters is rough going at times and not as interesting or funny as his later features Cry-Baby and Serial Mom, but it's worth a look. --Tom Keogh
