Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Chris W (2,796) on 17 Feb 2011

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…

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…

John Waters for the masses, while entertaining AND educating…

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

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…

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…

Not the best movie but way better then the remake…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

Another fun romp through the campy world of John Waters…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

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

I first saw this at my friend Joanna's house in 6th grade and I can still hear her and her mother, June, chanting in unison, Penny Pingleton…

Review of Hairspray (1988)

By Jennifer S (930) on 12 Apr 2010

Although the movie was the basis of one of my favorite movies, this version I just did not like this movie…
