Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Ro D (267) on 22 May 2011

I can't believe the ratings this movie has. One of the worst films I've ever seen. Debbie Harry was the only good thing about this movie…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Dallas B (12) on 08 Apr 2011

Beautiful film, I could watch it over and over again because its so funny and genuine…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 08 Apr 2011

While it’s corny by design, Hairspray also aims to get at something truthful, about the various kinds of prejudice weighing down the city…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Sarah L (684) on 04 Apr 2011

Amazing soundtrack, funny lines, strange fasion. Great fun…

Kotu bir 'Grease' taklidi. Ama yine de eglenceli. En azindan 'Grease'den daha fazla sosyal mesaj iceriyor…

I love Hairspray, but for me, this just isn't it. Give me the newer version with John Travolta any day…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Valerie M (177) on 11 Feb 2011

Manifestly John Waters, but watered down, in a way. I prefer the musical, though, mostly due to its great cast…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Laura B (721) on 05 Feb 2011

Refuse to watch the remake, out of respect for this original…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Peter K (504) on 16 Jan 2011

This was a wee bit more quirky than the Broadway show or the 2007 film version and I miss all the songs from the Broadway show but it's still…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Chris S (3,490) on 13 Jan 2011

John Waters for the masses, while entertaining AND educating…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Jeremy K (293) on 26 Dec 2010

Sai tanssijalan vipattamaan ja hahmot olivat piristÃ¤vÃ¤n erilaisia useisiin muihin musikaaleihin verrattuna…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Courtney G (163) on 23 Dec 2010

Love it. Wanna learn those moves. Especially the mashed potato…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Douglas V (57) on 21 Dec 2010

The end of this movie is the best ... The storyline is wonderful. Deborah Harry is amazing _…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Minna S (192) on 19 Dec 2010

Clearly better than the 2007 remake, or at least I enjoyed this one much more. It's actually funny and not as goody-goody than the remake…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Rob J (305) on 24 Aug 2010

I would not think I would say this, but... YEA for fat people and black folk dancing together!! Awesome movie. Now pardon me, I've got to go dance…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Tiffany S (227) on 25 Jul 2010

Such a corny movie, would love to see the actual broadway play though especially with Matthew Morrison…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Lana E (15) on 21 Jul 2010

Not bad...it's just my least favorite John Waters' movie. A bit too bland and mainstream for my tastes. I'm sure other people will like it more…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Sharyn's M (31) on 11 Jul 2010

Not the best movie but way better then the remake…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Jennifer D (523) on 05 Jun 2010

Another fun romp through the campy world of John Waters…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Keith H (271) on 27 May 2010

Far better than that shitty remake - can not even compare the two…
