I saw it and didn't like it as much as the original. However, I still did enjoy it and my niece loved it.

I love this movie so much! It has great songs, great cast and a positive message! Anyone can achieve what they put their mind to. John Travolta plays an excellent role as Mrs. Turnblad and so does Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad! She is an overweight teen whose dream is dance on the Corny Collin's Show and won't stop to make integration the future . If you love musicials or love John Travolta or great comedy, give this movie a try! It a a definite must see for all movie lovers!
Surprisingly Good! March 8, 2008

Hairspray is a surprising hit. I didn't think that I would like this movie, but I actually did, very much in fact.
The songs and singing are great, along with the acting and plot etc. There are many "hidden" innuendoes that many little kids would not get that adults will.
It keeps moving and grooving and has a good sub plot (Hairspray Queen) to make everything flow nicely. The only thing that I didn't particularly like was John Travolta dressed as a woman. That was not only frightening, but hard to look at as well. Either way there wouldn't have been a way to get out of some man looking awful, I'm sure. Thank God him and Christopher Walken did not have a full on kiss anywhere in the movie.
Verdict: Worth a rental or a purchase, depending on how bad you want to see it.

I heard rave reviews, especially about John Travolta, and watched with great anticipation. And by all standards, this is such a hilarious and cheerful musical. Its success owe much to its excellent balance of great dance numbers and everyone has their turn to lead in the spotlight. For the first half, I am captivated by the singing and dancing Tracey, she is so beautiful and so plus size! Then it is her classmates' turn, the vibrant black youths in the detention class, singing even more beautifully and leap so high in the air. When Mrs. Turnblad (John Travolta) showed up with her feminine features, not to mention her adorable and modest demeanor, that's worth zillions of laughs. The scene Mr. and Mrs. Turnblad (Christopher Walken) singing in the backyard can be so romantic. But I love the finale best - the way John Trovolta moves and bends, Queen Lativah sings and the group dancers twirl round and round unbelievably fast.
As for the plot - not to discriminate against race, size and look- it may be predictable but the cast is so funny that it's still worth watching again and again. And one big surprise, to someone who can't dance (me), the 2 dance lessons in the bonus features given by the choregraphers are eye-opening. They inspire me with the "camel pull", "chicken" moves. And now I admire those dancers greatly, even more than the main characters. All right, maybe Mrs. Turnblad's final dance is still hard to beat!
