Good morning Baltimore!"

First of all: musicals are not my thing. The latest The Producers remake equalled poison for upcoming musical movies due for release.

Hairspray, however, is a different story. The film is clichéd, predictable, cheesy, corny beyond all belief, childish, features a few annoying teenager heart-throbs with no acting skills - but it is fantastic!... read more

I've never seen the original "Hairspray", but as it was John Waters I didn't expect the remake to be a "Family Film", but that's what it is. The setting and costumes are great, and although it's a musical the star of the show is the choreography. The storyline is how a chubby short girl in the early 60s wants to be chosen as the next cast member of a local rock'n'roll show (like American Bandsta... read more

It was absolutely hillarious! Seriously - I didnt think it would be this good!

It was truly an amazing musical and had many many funny parts to it aswell. I was surprised to see so many good actors in it like Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes and Queen Latifa who I didnt think were in it!

" 3 Mar Not by kind of film, but decided to watch it on TV. + Loved Christopher Walken in this film, he can sing too + It was pretty funny to see Trevolta as a fat woman + The production design was great, love this setting - The songs weren't catchy at all - Didn't like the main character - The story was pretty lame"

“Zac Efron showed some courage in working with John Waters so soon after all his High School Musical successes. He is an excellent actor. Everything I've seen him in since the HSM series has been very satisfying.” read more

"I'm not usually a fan of Broadway musicals, particularly those that have been adaption for the silverscreen. The fact that this movie is on the list shows that every once in a while, one does come out that ends up sticking in my hair. Oh, and BTW, check out Christopher Walken & John Travolta in this movie..... Last time these two "guys" starred in the same flick, it was in Pulp Fiction. It appears that, since then, they've gone a long way, baby. "
