1) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. this is a fantastic movie. it´s campy and fun and very positive. this movie is a well known and much loved classic. it´s entertaining for adults and appropriate for kids (if you´re familiar with john waters and have some reservations) my preteen daughter showed it to her friends at her birthday party, and all the girls got up to try out the dances and giggled their heads off. how anyone could even think of comparing it to the travolta crap is beyond me, let alone like the other one better. this is the movie that started the whole thing. the broadway play was ripped off from this movie, and that other version is ripped off from the broadway play. this version is better in every respect. better cast, better writing, better costumes, better music. ricki lake is awesome.¤ 2) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. The movie was good. Unfortunately, I watched it after watching the musical remake and that impacted my opinion. The story line was good. I´m not disappointed in the purchase.¤ 3) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. Hairspray is a John Waters satire. This film works because of the film´s unlikely star, Ricki Lake (her feature film debut). Lake brings warmth and spunk to the role of plump teenager Tracy Turnbland. Divine and Sonny Bono also star. Also look for singer Vitamin C aka Colleen Fitzpatrick. The musical remake is even better. I highly recommend this fun flick, enjoy!¤ 4) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT MOVIE AT A GREAT PRICE AND WAS VERY PLEASED THAT IS ARRIVED IN A VERY TIMELY MANNER. SINCERELY, JODI¤ 5) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. This is the only version I love. Deborah Harry is hilarious. Love the dance scenes. I fell in love with this movie when it first came out. The movie based on the play just can´t compare to this movie, for me it is simply the best.¤ 6) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. John waters glorious teen sendup follows tracy tumblad a chunky teen who dreams of appearing on the local tv dance program. Studio: New Line Home Video Release Date: 09/26/2006 Starring: Ricki Lake Run time: 94 minutes Rating: Pg¤ 7) DVD DVD Hairspray by New Line Home Video. John Waters made his bid for PG respectability with this enjoyably trashy comedy about the racial integration of a teen dance show on Baltimore television in the early ´60s. Waters, as always, makes a virtue of junk culture and the powerful emotional forces it can represent as kids vie to get on the show. Meanwhile, a parade of former stars (Pia Zadora, Debbie Harry, Sonny Bono) and pseudostars (Divine, Ricki Lake) cross the screen, playing freakish characters absorbed by thoughts of fame. (Waters himself turns up as a weirdo psychiatrist.) This transitional film for Waters is rough going at times and not as interesting or funny as his later features Cry-Baby and Serial Mom, but it´s worth a look. --Tom Keogh¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
