THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE, FULL OF WONDERFUL DANCING AND AWESOME MUSIC. JOHN TRAVOLTA IS STUNNING AS EDNA TURNBLAD. ALL OF THE CAST IS GREAT! WE ARE ADDICTED TO THIS MOVIE, WE HAVE WATCHED IT AT LEAST 50 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. THIS MOVIE WILL MAKE YOU WANT TO GET UP AND DANCE YOUR SOCKS OFF. WE LOVE IT... WE LOVE IT... WE LOVE IT!!! WE GIVE IT ***** FIVE STARS AND TWO THUMBS UP!
This is a wonderful movie, I saw it on HBO first and then decided I couldn't live without it in my collection. The music is wonderful and cast is fabulous. I would definitely recommend this movie.
My daughter wanted the DVD and I could not find it anywhere. I searche Ebay and found lots of the for sale. She was very pleased with the condition as it was new. The price was more than fair. I love buying on Ebay because I live way out in the country and with these gas prices it saves me alot of gas money as well as wear and tear on my vehicle.
Forget comparing this movie to the original. Even Ricki Lake is best remembered for her talk show. John Travolta stars in a tour de force role which could only rival John Water's movie Polyester which starred Divine. If you're like me and hate most musicals, this movie will leave you once it's over ...singing a different tune. Queen Latifah including the entire ensemble cast lights the screen from start to finish. It's refreshing to watch a musical where the music itself is not necessarily a distraction from the storyline. The movie in a light hearted way addresses the inhumanity of racism while never forgeting to focus on the eternal optimism of the human spirit. Its that spirit in todays youth which continues to profess what lies ahead is destined to be a better day. Sit back and allow the movie to lift your spirit, make you laugh and remind us all where we've been, whether you're Black or White, and how far we still have to go. Most importantly, the movie reminds us that if we all hold our hands together, we might just get there a lot sooner...... with extra hold hairpray or not.
FUN, FUN, FUN !! Especially when you know the actors! Didn't have an interest to see on B'way... had freinds in that as well. The HAIRSPRAY MOVIE I first saw while coming back to NY from LA... loved it then... much Fun now.
This movie was instantly one of my all time favorites. It starts out a little slow, but you start getting into it quickly! The songs are catchy and well done! The cast is just amazing! I chuckle to myself everytime John Travolta comes on the screen because him as a big woman...it's just the best! Zac Efron steps out of his High School Musical stereotype and is hott and etc!!! This was an instant favorite of mine and it's a family movie that you can enjoy!!
Great movie. Upbeat story about having a positive attitude. Shows the innocence of the 50's/60's. Also shows how prejudice can hurt and how an open mind can open a world of opportunities. The story also shows how parents can learn a lot from their teenagers. I saw it at the theater twice. Bought one for my granddaughter.
I've always been a fan of musicals, but often find that they lose there luster when they show up on film. Not so with Hairspray! It's filled with the same upbeat music and positive message of the original show and the acting is superb. I can't say enough about this talented group of actors and actress who all performed beautifully. Be on the look out for Blonsky and Efron... they're going to be big!
Loved this movie. I like musicals and this was one of the best I've seen in modern times. Seems like musicals are a thing of the past... Anyone who enjoys upbeat songs and is not worried about a complicated plot will love this movie. I highly recommend it.
the movie Hairspray was never sent to me, even though I won the ebay auction. Upon reading reviews of the seller, I understand that he is unscrupulous.
My daughters & I love this movie. Its a family friendly movie, loads of fun, great cast and music - and I usually hate musical! I thought I wouldn't be able to sit through watching John Travolta in drag, but he did a great job in his role. I highly recommend it to anyone.
The good guys come out on top. I love Queen Latifah in this movie - Long Live the Queen! A nice, not too sentimental look at the fifties that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
I loved the new sound this cast brought to this well known musical. The dancing was incredible, and it showed that dancing is about DANCING, not looking good, not showing off, just moving because the beat gets you there. For me to actually go out and buy a movie after I've rented it.. it has to be EXCELLENT.
I bought Hairspray in December, and I was very pleased with the quality of the movie, along with the fast shipping too. I have not had any problems with this DVD, and it's like brand new. I rated it excellent because it's like buying a new movie for a much cheaper price than going to Wal Mart.
I AM A TRAVOLTA FAN 1ST OF ALL BUT THIS MOVIE DEPICTS HIS USUAL ROLE AS A BAD GUY OR AN ANGEL, HIS DRAMA & GOOD LOOKS MAKE FOR A GREAT DUO BUT OH THE MOVIE: GREAT MUSIC, FUNNY, WELL ACTED BY ALL & I HAVE WATCHED IT 15 TIMES AT LEAST, DID I SAY I WAS A FAN...ITS WORTH EVERY PENNY I PAID FOR IT SINCE I BOUGHT IT TWICE, 1ST TIME WAS BY BLUE RAY & DIDN'T REALIZE BLUE RAY REQUIRED A SPECIAL PLAYER TO VIEW SO BOUGHT IT AGAIN, NOT WORTH RETURNING IT...WATCH IT ITS A GREAT GREAT FLICK...
This movie was excellent. The singing isnt what I enjoyed, but the comedy. It was fantastic! John Travolta as a woman is silly. It was cute. I really enjoyed the good clean fun.
i have no clue what this movie is like because i havent recieved it yet. it has been 3 weeks and i have tried to make contact with the seller but no returns i think that most of his negative feedback is right that he is a fake. i dont expect to recive it.
