Love the original Hairspray! I’ve always felt it was better than the musical but that’s my opinion. If you like John Waters and Baltimore themed movies this one is a classic!

The date above is 2002 on this DVD...movie is from a couple decades earlier. My family LOVES the later version of this title, the movie made around 1995ish, With John Travolta and Michelle Pfeifer, which is a real MUSICAL. This earlier movie, though interesting for it's original story, authentic 60's music, great fashion moments, good dancing, and interesting cast members make this watchable. D. Harry is disappointing, but Rick Ocasic is amazing in his cameo. Divine didn't make many movies - has two roles in this (one male, one female), Jerry Stiller always a hoot. Sonny Bono interesting to see, but acting is stiff now and then from everyone.
Always have loved the original "Hairspray" with all the original cast! Especially Divine! She is such a hoot! If you haven't seen the original, ya gotta! Sorry, John! No one can top Divine, no pun intended! She has starred in many other off the wall, B-rated movies and is just hillarious to watch! She is an original drag queen, waaay b 4 Rupaul! (Love ya, too, Ru!) Careful with children present, though! She's a bit blunt! Remake of this film is pretty good, consideing, but ya just can't top an original cult classic like this 1! HIGHLY recomend for mature audience with a fabulous sense of humor!

I ordered the Hairspray DVD simply because I used to work at one of the locations it was filmed at (Tilted Acres). The story is a good one, and deals with teenage angst and racism of the '60s. Lots of the cast have passed on, but have memorable roles in the movie. Good times!
