I purchased this movie because I beleive that this movie is a classic tale of racism, over protective parents and good american white trash. You can not watch this movie and not laugh!
The movie is great!Great Condition! I decidided to buy it because the buyer had a great feedback and i trusted to get it on time and in great condition!
i bought it becuase i like comedy and if you want a good laugh that is one movie you should buy. i love the way they made fun of the hair hoppers and the funny dances it was just hilarious all the way through. i bought it cause i wanted it in my movie collection.
All John Waters films have a fun and cheeky feel to them. His take on all issues makes this film perfect for all open minded people. This is Ricki Lakes break out performance and she is perfect in it !
I bought this dvd after my teenage daughter saw the new Hairspray movie at the theater. She was surprised to see that it was not the original movie. She actually liked the original movie better!
This movie was in great condition just like when you could find them in the video stores for $29.99, when it just came out,lol. I bought from this person because I did not find from other's feedback that the seller was a bootlegger like....(((("BARONMIKEL")))),BEWARE OF HIM. I bought this movie because it is one of my all time favorite's and at a great price of $12.18
Couldn't watch the original all the way thru. Can't explain why just couldn't do it. John Travolta version was great, have watched that over and over. Zac Efron and John Travolta was worth the purchase alone.
Not as endearing as the remake, but a classic never-the-less. A gritty, more eye opening look at prejudices. Warning, less innocent than the remake with sexual innuendos. Still worth watching to compare and contrast with the remake. Watch this original with Ricki Lake first.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE AS A TEENAGER. AND WHEN THE MOVIE WAS REMADE I THOUGHT ABOUT THE OLD VERSION & FOUND IT ON EBAY BRAND NEW. LOVED IT ALL OVER AGAIN. THANKS
I love this movie, and now so does my daughter! She fell in love with the new Hairspray and now she loves the Original just as much! Perfect quality DVD, and a pleasure to have as an addition to our DVD collection.
I grew up watching this movie and it had been years since I'd seen it. It varies greatly from the new Hairspray, but still a classic. I love Divine as Edna Turnblad!!
I would love to thank you for selling one of my all time favorite movies in the world. After seeing the New Hairspray Movie I had to buy the "original" one because that is what the movie harispray is NOT THE NEW ONE......
I ordered the dvd "Hairspray" and it came within 3-4 days. It was in excellent condition and I would definately do business with you again. Sorry about the delay in the review. Thank you
It was so funny and touched alot on the way race discrimation was but it was tastefully done. The music was fantastic it made me want to get up and dance.
I had been looking for a copy of this movie for some time and decided to go on ebay to see if I could find it. Sure enough there it was. I ordered the movie and received it very quickly. The DVD was in excellent condition and I will certainly be ordering from this seller again. It was a very smooth transaction and it was a pleasure doing business with he seller.
I decided to buy the movie because I wanted to show my children the classic version opposed to the new one. They loved it. There's nothing like the older movies. also I live in an area where it's hard to find certain titles and I was glad to find it on ebay.
I am glad I have this DVD. I love the original. It also has a great cast. I also love the music and the story line of the story. I loved how the story was about equal rights. The movie was taking place during the early '60's, which was heading towards the time when people were working for equal rights for everyone.
I am waiting on the dvd. I did get 2 e-mails that they are on back order. They Said they are sorry. I got an e-mail that it was shipped maybe this week I will gey it and review the dvd and than leave an comment. Thank-You
