This film leaps at you with such joy and vigour and generosity you cannot reject it.

RTNPROct 18, 2008

For a star-studded big-budget musical, Hairspray does a nice job of retaining the funky sweetness of the original.

Though colorful, cheery and energetic, there's something missing from this song-and-dance routine.

RTTheIndependentCritic.comSep 10, 2020

Marc Shaiman and Chris Wittman's score sparkles and the film's production design and appearance remain faithful to Waters' vision of 1960's Baltimore.
