I haven't seen the remake but this version came out when Waters was moving beyond his multiple maniacs phase to the more quirky nostalgic comedies…

Leave it to John Waters to take one part fat girl, two parts Divine, and a smattering of Baltimore to create a 60's themed romp that confronts…

Campy, lightweight fun. Give it an extra star for director John Water's commentary track - hilarious…

John Waters' strongest by a mile, in fact Hairspray is the only film he made that I can recommend with any good conscience…

Not my type of movie...I mean, there were a few parts I laughed at, but I was bored through most of it, and it just wasn't my thing…

So... I am really only used to seeing the upbeat, newer musical version of Hairspray, so this film felt... boring in comparison…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Shane D (789) on 24 Dec 2008

I actually preferred this to the new Hairspray. You had a good feel of what itwas like in those days without seeming too unreal…
