Summary: Fun and entertaining!
Comment: This movie was one of the best I have seen in a while .It was very funny and entertaining.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Loved it!
Comment: At first I didn't want to see this b/c I didn't really enjoy the John Water's version of the film, but I decided to see this one anyway, and I loved it. The songs are funny and the actors were perfect choices for the roles they play.

Summary: Hairspray DVD
Comment: Purchased this for my little cousin and she loved it! Watches it all the time. Arrived in excellent condition and very, very, timely!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Dull - - I walked out
Comment: Maybe a movie can be comedy, ironic satire, and musical all at once, but it's a tough balancing act to pull off.
For example, the opening song "Baltimore" should be hilarious - - the whole idea of singing in delight of a famously dull city - - but instead drags on too long and can't quite decide whether to be serious about itself. In fact, all the songs last too long. I suppose that speaks to the quality of the song writing ("is the damn thing over yet?").
Or consider the domestic scenes, exaggerated proletarian misery in wildly perky pastels. Is it supposed to be misery? Or Disney Channel comedy? or a mockery of misery? In the end it looks like they wanted to make fun of miserable conditions, while still being nice to them, but also not being too scary for the kids in the audience or offending the sponsors (god forbid the movie should have the ferocity of, ahem, a John Waters film).
Can't review the entire movie because I walked out after about 20 minutes of this idiocy.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Boring and Insincere
Comment: The whole family fell asleep watching this one: wife, 3 kids, family dog, me.
We thought it would be fun because we laughed so much when we saw the original (the one with Divine).
And it marks the end of the civil rights era as far as I'm concerned. The issues are presented in such a light-weight, ho-hum, humdrum way, by such light-weight actors, that it's practically a slap in the face to anyone who really cares about civil rights.
I miss Divine.

It's 1962, and change is in the air in Baltimore. Tracy Turnblad, a big girl with big hair and an even bigger heart, has only one passion--to dance. She wins a spot on the local TV dance program, "The Corny Collins Show" and is transformed overnight from outsider to irrepressible teen celebrity. But can the trendsetting Tracy win the heart of teen-dream Link Larkin and stand up for what she believes in, despite the program's scheming stage manager? All she needs is her best friend Penny, a toe- tappin' beat - and a little HAIRSPRAY!
