Review of Hairspray (1988) by Jonathan R — 16 Apr 2016
The original music classic classic set in the heart of Maryland Baltimore. It's amazing how much of the 2007 version borrowed heavily from the original.
The story is fun & carefree of a plump teen going big time on a teen dance talent show. I personally liked the John Waters quirky touch in this film & found myself chuckling at the oddity of it.
Not as slick & colorful as the new film but I found it rather enjoyable the story has terrific race tolerance message as well.
