Movie Reviews of Hairspray

Movie 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!

Summary 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
