Sunny, funny -- with a message

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

Sunny 1988 comedy directed by John Waters has enough of his edginess to keep it diverting and enough of a message that you're happy the younger generation has taken it to heart. It's 1962 and chubby teen Tracy Turnblad (Rikki Lake) has one desire -- to dance on the "Corny Collins Show," Baltimore's version of "American Bandstand." Tracy crosses paths with the upwardly striving von Tussle family, and at the same time her consciousness is raised when her teased-up hair gets her sent to Special Ed., where she meets several African-American students demoted there for similarly irrelevant reasons. Tracy discovers that the black kids aren't allowed on the Corny Collins Show except on the rare and specified "Negro Day." And the plot thickens.

This movie is a delight. Waters crams it with period detail (one of the kids on line for the Corny Collins Show is reading a paperback of BLACK LIKE ME) without sacrificing his usual shock value -- this is Divine's last film role, as Tracy's agoraphobic mother Edna Turnblad. Edna's husband is played by Jerry Stiller, who is worried about Tracy's growing activism. Edna soothes him by saying -- utterly deadpan -- "After all, dear, the times are a'changing." With self-aware nuggets like that, and a supporting cast that includes Debbie Harry and the late Sonny Bono, it's no surprise it went on to spawn a Broadway musical, a film of the musical, and a revival. In fact, my only gripe about this original HAIRSPRAY is that it may be a little too busy -- but it is always fun. Recommended.

It is alright.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2020

This version of Hairspray isn't for me.

The 1988 version of Hairspray came out before the actual musical--so there is no singing. The singing was introduced in the Broadway production of Hairspray and the music/singing was used in the 2007 remake of the film. The production concept in the 1988 version of Hairspray is slightly different from the 2007 remake. The movie contains some lousy acting and more crudeness from the character Amber. But it still tells the story of the playwright calling for racial integration and it explores themes of racial prejudice and freedom of expression. The movie also uses words that are frowned upon in this day and age.

Divine's swansong, and John Waters' commercial peak

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

Arguably the high point of John Waters' career, HAIRSPRAY is a fun, energetic and infectious movie with a top-notch soundtrack and earnest performances from everyone involved. The story centers around Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake), a "pleasantly plump" teenager who spends her afternoons watching the Corny Collins Show, where teenagers dance the most popular dances to the latest tunes. She manages to get on the show, and from there hopes to bring integration to Baltimore, Maryland (this takes place in 1962). While still maintaining some of the weirdness which made John Waters (in)famous, this film rises above campiness because of the social ideas it embraces, e.g., racial equality. There's also hints of commentary on fame and child stars, akin to themes explored in more explicit ways in his previous films, but the focus here is on bringing people together. And what better way than through music and dancing? Just about everything in the movie works, from the retro fashion which has been lovingly recreated/exaggerated to the choreography and music. It's so catchy that you just want to get up and dance yourself. Still, the movie isn't without its negatives. The narrative is a bit thin, and the conflict is resolved a little too easily, but this can be mostly forgiven because of the strength of everything else around it. Recommended for moviegoers of all ages.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was a very enjoyable movie and one that the kids can watch. "Divine" (may he rest in peace), did a divine job of playing the mother. This I believe, is the only movie in which he did not play the lead character, but instead Ricki Lake did. And, as I understand it, he was not happy about being second, and it actually irritated him, but during filming he grew very fond of Ricki Lake and even asked her to share a pie with him. It showed his wonderful ability for character acting and I loved watching him! Lots of great music and dancing and the story, set back in the early 1960's was silly, which is just the way I like it! And fat girls can dance even better than their skinny counter-parts. It streamed well from Amazon Prime.

who needs broadway?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 22, 2007

Verified Purchase

sorry to all that were or are involved with the corporation that is hairspray on broadway.

but if a tourist will just spend a few pennies on this dvd, they will get a much more exciting ride. first off, the viewer can hear wonderful classic tunes by the ikettes, peggy march, lesley gore and so many others! second off, the viewer will see divine pass his/her crown to ricki lake and her performance as tracy is a star-making turn! not to mention divine offers stellar support as feisty mrs. turnblad. thirdly, there is a great ensemble of john waters regulars and new faces in support of our two wonderful stars! fourth, baltimore is a bright, sunny place as captured through the lens of waters' sharp memories. and the memories make the fingers pop as the choreography takes us through one dance craze after another--but they also make the head snap as we have to look at the issues of racial inequity, class structure and body types and we really have to ask ourselves--who is meant to dance, why and where?

now i'm sure there is much to be said melissa janet winokur's tony-winning go as tracy on broadway but her presence doesn't make me ask questions to society like ricki lake does.

so buy, replay and love over and over again!
