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

Must Have!
Rating: 5
I first saw this movie as a young girl and have been hooked ever since! This is one of those classic cult movies that you are going to either love or hate. I love the remake also and saw the Broadway show on Feb 24, 2008. I highly recommend this movie to anyone with a love for dancing, music, and fun!! Ricki Lake, Sonnny Bono, Deborah Harry, Divine, and Jerry Stiller are purely magical in this movie.
What I wanted at a fair price.
Rating: 4
They had what I wanted at a fair price and it saved time and gas to go get it.
Hairspray - Original Movie on DVD
Rating: 5
Since I bought the newer version of this film I had to buy the original as the original just have some moments that the newer version doesn't.
This DVD arrived in great shape and plays with excellent quality.
