Baltimore, 1962. Ample, energetic teen Tracy Turnblad (Ricki Lake) wants nothing more than to get on hip local TV dance program THE CORNY COLLINS SHOW. When she finally gets her way, her lively dance moves and bubbly personality are met with unexpected popularity, along with the ire of a fellow dancer, scheming Amber Von Tussle (Colleen Fitzpatrick). Furthermore, when she witnesses firsthand the terrible state of race relations in Baltimore, Tracy becomes an outspoken advocate for the desegregation of THE CORNY COLLINS SHOW. <br> <br> John Waters's first PG-rated film is also his most sweet-natured and accessible. Based on his appreciation of the real-life 1960s Baltimore dance program THE BUDDY DEANE SHOW, Waters's affection for the era and attention to authenticity shines through. Lake, in her first film performance, radiates charm and enthusiasm. Divine, in his last (dual) role, appears as both Tracy's mother, Edna, and dastardly TV station manager Arvin Hodgepile. As if that weren't enough, an insp... Minimize

Hairspray.....No Roaches In This Beehive

by   tombarnes ,  Jun 19, 2005
Pros: Deliciously warped humor from John Waters, set and costume design are well thought out
Cons: Penny Pingleton is permanently, positively, punished
The Bottom Line: Call it Waters Lite if you will, but Hairspray offers an entertaining look at Baltimore.
Review: Those familiar the work of John Waters may know what to expect in Hairspray. Those who haven't been initiated into his depraved world may be surprised to learn that this was the first of his new line of films tamed, if not for the whole family, ...
