Hairspray.....No Roaches In This Beehive

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2005
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, at...

"I'm Big, I'm Blonde, & I'm Beautiful" Proclaims Tracy Turnblad

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2003
The Bottom Line: "Hairspray" is fun, hilarious masterpiece from John Waters featuring a breakthrough performance from Ricki Lake & Divine in his final, outstanding performance.
Review:
Throughout his entire film career, Baltimore independent filmmaker John Waters has always been known for being the king of bad taste. From earlier films like "Mondo Trasho", "Pink Flamingos", and "Polyester" to more latter-day, accessible films...

Hair Hopper Heaven

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2003
The Bottom Line: John Waters finally entered the mainstream with this entertaining quasi-musical on race relations in early 60s Baltimore.
Review: I had not been paying too much attention to the news lately. If I'm not mentioned, I can't see the point of reading it. However, in the dentists office this morning, while having my biweekly chemical whitening, I picked up the Los Angeles Times...

A Fat Ricki Lake, and more...

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2000
Review:
If you rent Hairspray expecting to see a naked hitchhiker, a raping giant lobster, or a turd-eating transvestite, you may be disappointed. Hairspray represents more mainstream John Waters fare, but the inspired casting itself will warrant a...

See Ricki Run

Date of Review:  May 13, 2000
Review: I saw Hairspray a couple of times. I thought it was funny. To see Ricki Lake shaped like a blimp was hilarious. If you remember the late 50's and early 60's, you'll like this movie.

Ricki is a girl named Tracy who just wants to be on a show...

"Hairspray" Stands Up Through Time

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy cult films or you're seeking a musical guaranteed to please, reach for the "Hairspray."
Review: I LOVE a good cult film and writer/director John Waters is the king of Kult. Ricki Lake positively shines here as Tracy, an overweight teen whose main ambition is to be a dancer on the Corny Collins Dance Party. She wins a dance contest drawing...

See Ricki hair hop and bop

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2000
Review: Even though this movie could have ended Ricki Lake's career before it even started I like it and proudly own a copy. It's a John Waters film so of course the plot is weak but enjoyable. Ricki is a hefty high school student who loves to watch the...

It has to Aqua Net!!

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2000
Review: Ok, when I was a pre teen, this movie was not that bad, but now that I am older, all I can say is, WHAT were they thinking? I had a friend that used to be a "hair hopper." First it was red hair, then black hair, then short red hair, then bangs down...

The hair do's and don'ts: don't watch this movie

Date of Review:  May 12, 2000
Review: A porno star, fat talk show host, and a hottie johnny depp rolled up in one corny movie. This movie had some funny parts, but mostly was pretty much boring and over dramatic. Ricki Lake, our famous talk show host, was ok in it. Boy was she big!...
