It's just fun, you know? Big-hearted, candy-colored fun. The entire cast gives it their all, and the musical numbers are energetic, catchy, and often very funny. You'll finish it with a grin on your face and a bounce in your step.

When so many modern musicals are hamstrung by excessive self-consciousness, HAIRSPRAY's brash sincerity comes as a breath of fresh air. The songs are bright and catchy, "You Can't Stop the Beat" being particularly vibrant; it serves as a most fitting finale. The plot is a bit streamlined from the earlier film, but the spirit and message aren't notably blunted. Fine acting, with John Travolta doing pretty well by the drag role of Edna, and Nikki Blonsky making a fine debut as Tracy. Great fun.

I see no need to compare this to the Waters film; after all, it's not even a direct remake. Catchy songs, great cast, and yes, that includes Efron, who sorta won me over in this flick even though I'm used to hating his guts based on the High School Musical franchise. Amazing how much better his singing sounds without the Sickly Sweet Disney Channel Voice Filter(tm). Very good entertainment, unless you hate musicals, in which case... gtfo.

Remarkably, I didn't hate it. In part it was because most of the common modern musical tropes are missing or muted or just plain tolerable in this one: the jazz hands and overly enthusiatic, hugely choreographed dance numbers; the overt seriousness in an unrealistic genre; the obviously-written-by-drama-club-losers songs. But who am I kidding, the bulk of the entertainment in this one comes from Walken and Travolta in a fat suit playing a woman. That's a recipe for success, if I ever saw one.

Not bad at all. It's very John Waters without the extreme edge, which is exactly what it is. Everything is cheesy and too glossy, but the songs are kind of fun and the heart of the script is pretty solid.

I think this misses the point. John Waters's Hairspray was a campy homage to lower-grade teen movies; making it into a musical sends the camp-ometer into overdrive and makes the whole thing too cartoonish, so that when the points about racial and other discrimination, that the original made so effectively, are attempted, I just couldn't take them seriously. Also, the songs are some of the most forgettable I've ever heard, and, maybe this says more about me than the movie, but I was annoyed by it

This is a new musical, but it's right there at the top of the pile. Great story, amazing songs, it's got so much groove it will get you dancing around the room, and it carries a great message. Also Travolta is epic. I can think of few movies which are as delightful.

While Travolta struck me as a bit goofy at first you start to feel for his character as the movie goes, so he gets the job done. Nikki is a fantastic Tracy. The music and choreography are beautiful and it feels like authentic 50's/60's dancing and music. I was very satisfied with the movie. It's worth the ticket. See it.

Based on John Waters' 1988 satire of civil rights-era nostalgia, this movie-musical adaptation makes the same mistake as the 2002 Broadway incarnation -- it domesticates Waters' parodistic anarchy into general-audience silliness.

The color and campy Broadway energy of Hairspray is most certainly not for everyone. For those who are accepting of what its trying to do, Hairspray is about as fun and energetic as a musical can get. With over-the-top yet lovable characters in service of a worthwhile and relevant story. Whether you like the film or not, you'll be humming the tunes for weeks after the fact.

This definitely has some draggy bits. Some songs are too repetitive and go on frustratingly long but it's pretty easy to get rooting for the fat girl who brings an end to racism. It's nice to see a fat girl main character portrayed with some humanity and that only makes John Travolta's character seem insensitive by comparison. His lines about how he "can't stop eating" have a disturbing contrast with Tracy's healthy character.

Deliberate camp generally doesn't work for me so I've never been a fan of Waters' films. He finds bad performances hilarious but I don't. Still, there's lots of great rarely heard 50's/60s songs here and this is technically competent in a way his early indies weren't. It's also interesting to see something like this now because Waters increasingly plays alot of the racism for laughs & its hard to imagine modern Woke audiences not finding multiple things to be outraged about here.

I've seen the original movie but it was so long ago that I don't remember much about it. This update was a lot of fun and I found myself tapping my feet the whole time. I liked Travolta as the mom but there were moments when I found his Baltimore accent to be terrible and distracting. Amanda Bynes, once again, plays a 30 year old teenager. Christopher Walken seemed a bit out of place but he did a great job. Michelle Pfeiffer was fantastic. I would love to see her in more roles like this.

I liked some musical movies in the past, but this one didn't catch me. The way the civil rights fight is treated as some sort of prop to show the main girl is nice kind of leaves a weird taste in your mouth, if one takes a second to think about it. It is worth showing but, I don't know, couldn't have been treated differently? Though one has to admit, Travolta at his age in a fat suit and in heels still had some swift steps in that one dance.

It's a high-energy campily fun time, however I couldn't help but feel some dissonance between it's fun light-hearted tone and its attempts at confronting serious and painful subject matter like Racism and the Civil Rights Movement.

A bright and colorful look compliment the fun and upbeat soundtrack, but ultimately Hairspray can't retain its initial charm for the entire running time of the movie. There really isn't anything wrong with the movie outside of the lagging middle section where it tries so hard to be social commentary rather than sticking to a simple musical-lite plot. It's certainly a worthwhile event and it's never bad seeing Brittany Snow or Amanda Bynes in the same movie.

I really liked this movie a lot. I thought the acting was great and I liked the music. The plot was wonderful. The only problem I had with this movie was that they had John Travolta be the mother; dressed up in a fat suit as a woman... It was a little much for me. Why couldn't they have a heavier woman play the mother?

I just want to say that I'm not a fan of musicals so in the end Hairspray didn't win me over. It's fun enough with a decent amount of laughs throughout though. I appreciate it's desire to promote racial equality but it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer and seems to try and do this by using a ton of stereotypes. Maybe I'm being over critical because I'm not a musical fan but still. To be fair I was entertained and I'm glad I saw it but I won't be watching it again.

If rating something 91 only means that it is only decent, Hairspray deserves the rating. Zac and James Marden are perfect for their roles. Seeing Travolta in drag loudly demonstrates that this is meant to be an exercise in Campy excess. It's easy to see that Walken, Pfeiffer, and Latifah enjoyed their roles. John Walters deserves every penny derived from his art.

I like musicals, but this din't do it for me. It was funny to see John Travolta and Christopher Walken interact, James marsden seems to be all the more perfect for slimy roles as in "Enchanted".

Funny and entertaining. It makes you dance all the time, but after end titles you don't remember any song or melody. I enjoyed it. Mostly. Only Travolta scares me in my dreams even now.

I mean... you know, sure, why not? It's charming enough. My girlfriend ordered it from Netflix and insisted I watch, and I can't say I disliked the experience. The teen protagonist is played by an honest-to-god teen, which is rare enough I feel it warrants praise every time it happens. I do think that the sheer "white people who are SO compassionate towards black people, y'all!" aspect of it might actually dip into well-meaning-mild-racism-via-condescension, though.

When I saw *Hairspray*, I was aware throughout the film that the Hollywood dream machine was trying to sell me a product that I didn't want to "buy". It's pure kitsch, all artifice, no soul, the cinematic equivalent of junk food.

This is the type of film that manages to be both pleasant and eye-rolling at the same time. While many of the performances are good, there is just too many times I roll my eyes at Blonsky whenever she had a one-liner. Just something about her I did not like.

I probably should have hated this movie... was dragged to see it by my mom. It was actually, surprisingly watchable and the song and dance numbers were pretty good. Travolta is absolutely outrageous, but damn entertaining. Go in with incredibly low expectations and you may be surprised.
