What our customer's say!

"Fun and entertaining!", This movie was one of the best I have seen in a while .It was very funny and entertaining.

"Loved it!", At first I didn't want to see this b/c I didn't really enjoy the John Water's version of the film, but I decided to see this one anyway, and I loved it. The songs are funny and the actors were perfect choices for the roles they play.

"Hairspray DVD", Purchased this for my little cousin and she loved it! Watches it all the time. Arrived in excellent condition and very, very, timely!

"Dull - - I walked out", Maybe a movie can be comedy, ironic satire, and musical all at once, but it's a tough balancing act to pull off.
For example, the opening song "Baltimore" should be hilarious - - the whole idea of singing in delight of a famously dull city - - but instead drags on too long and can't quite decide whether to be serious about itself. In fact, all the songs last too long. I suppose that speaks to the quality of the song writing ("is the damn thing over yet?").
Or consider the domestic scenes, exaggerated proletarian misery in wildly perky pastels. Is it supposed to be misery? Or Disney Channel comedy? or a mockery of misery? In the end it looks like they wanted to make fun of miserable conditions, while still being nice to them, but also not being too scary for the kids in the audience or offending the sponsors (god forbid the movie should have the ferocity of, ahem, a John Waters film).

Can't review the entire movie because I walked out after about 20 minutes of this idiocy.


"Boring and Insincere", The whole family fell asleep watching this one: wife, 3 kids, family dog, me.

We thought it would be fun because we laughed so much when we saw the original (the one with Divine).

And it marks the end of the civil rights era as far as I'm concerned. The issues are presented in such a light-weight, ho-hum, humdrum way, by such light-weight actors, that it's practically a slap in the face to anyone who really cares about civil rights.

I miss Divine.

"SHIMMY AND SHAKE", An entertaining and uplifting musical that will have you tapping your toes and inspiring the viewer to get up and dance with the music. From 'Goodmorning Baltimore" thru the end you will sing and dance as the music is too compelling to just sit there !!

"Travolta: Get Out Of My Hair (spray...)", Okay, I'm prefacing this review with the fact that I watched very little of this 2007 version of this film. I am a John Waters fan, and enjoyed his amusing original film which starred some of my favorite performers, like Debbie Harry and Water's originals like Mink Stole. Very recently, I was dragged kicking and screaming to front row center seats purchased by a good friend for the national tour of "Hairspray" ( I am generally not a fan of musicals..though I like the classics (Gypsy, West Side Story..) and did enjoy "Wicked." ) Well..I quickly changed my tune, and was myself amazed at the constant grin I had on my face during the show from beginnng to end. The musical numbers were not only show stoppingly great, but the entire cast was absolutely amazing, with the stand out being the actor who played Mother Edna Turnblad. Though I had heard Harvey Fierstein did a magnificent job on the Broadway show, I did not see that. In this live version I have just seen, the only other person I was familiar with who I could have imagined doing as good a job would have been glorious Divine. He/she was very comical, charmingly slovenly, and overall brilliant, and really brought forth the spirit of Divine, without in any way trying to "copy" her, and the audience reaction upon curtain call showed they were apparently in avid agreement with me. My PROBLEM with this film version is the casting of JOHN TRAVOLTA! All too often, original good parts are ruined when the greedy powers that be decide that they will make more quick filthy lucre if they cast a *STAR* name, usually with disasterous artistic results. This film is a perfect example. I admit that the last Travolta vehicle that I liked was "Sat. Night Fever"..as I was a N.Y. disco duck at the time and it was a sensation . Since then, I would describe him as a real "jambon", as Truman Capote might have...and other than maybe "Pulp Fiction" which I have never seen, I defy anyone to name a Travolta film that could remotely be termed a classic, or, even a good film, for that matter. Like his contemporary and fellow self important Scientologist and nut job, Tom Cruise, I do not find them good actors, they are more "actory" than "actor", and I would rather watch 100 nameless, far more talented unknowns than watch either of them emote. Okay, I guess I have made my distaste for Travolta's screen presence clear. He ruined "Hairspray" for me. He's just a big, ugly, fat suited actor who looks completely fake compared to the other actors, even in their time relevant garb..and observing not only his hideous presence but his LOUSY, talentless, unintelligible performance for admittedly only a few laborious minutes made me realize that they might as well have had Big Bird or Barney The Dinosaur cast in this role. I can imagine during production that all present were aware that there was a BIG turkey on the set, and it's name was Travolta....but by then they probably felt it was too late. He even looks completely out of place on the darn dvd cover! (LOOK NOW!! ) Let's face it, most of the films made today are cr*p, and this one can be added to the pile. It is a shame, because people like Queen Latifah were probably very good in their roles in this film, but Tra-revolta's presence made it unwatchable for me. I would be curious to know what John Water's honestly felt about this portrayal, though I imagine that maybe his finally making some well deserved big bucks may compensate for having one of his most famous creations ruined. If Harvey Fierstein, or indeed even the wonderful actor presently playing Edna in the national tour were to have played the film role, it would have been as good and entertaining as the Broadway show. Instead, it is a minor musical and a major joke, at least to me, and that opinion is based on the PUTRID miscasting of Travolta, whose portrayal is completely devoid of any of the charm, camp, and comedy of that great lovable character, "Edna Turnblad." Let's rename Travolta's portrayal "Edna BAD-TURN." Yuck.

"Fabulous movie!!!!", I bought this movie for my daughter, she absolutely loves it...has watched it about 20 times already...If you love upbeat singing and dancing this is a great movie

"Definitely fun", The original movie is my only other "Hairspray" reference--meaning I never had the opportunity to see the Broadway version. Even so, I could not help but fall in love with this edition from the first moment I saw it. Yes, it takes some artistic license to make its own distinguised "Hairspray" but it was fun, colorful, and rowsing. I immediately fell in love with the almost ditzy whirl of fun as well as the juxtaposition of the racism story. I know truer fans of "Hairspray" could pick this apart, but a novice like me fell wildly in love with the inspirational and heartfelt film.

"Where's the Cover?", I ordered the 2-disc Shake & Shimmy Edition of Hairspray for my daughter's birthday. The contents were everything we expected (Fabulous!) but we were very disappointed that Amazon didn't include the fancy cardboard cover that we had seen in the stores.Hairspray (Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition)
