The Seattle Times (Moira Macdonald)
If there's a debut performance on film this year that's better than Nikki Blonsky's in the daffily adorable film musical "Hairspray," I can't wait to see it....read the complete Hairspray (2007) review at The Seattle Times (Moira Macdonald)

When Hairspray originally debuted on screens in 1988, people thought it was weird for a John Waters film. That is saying a lot. Waters (A Dirty Shame, Cecil B. Demented), was notorious for outrageous, lowbrow, boundary pushing movies (he has since...read the complete Hairspray (2007) review at Haro Online

If you want to see an entertaining musical, one with pretty girls and tuneful songs and great dancing, avoid Hairspray. While this is supposed to be a simple story of a fat girl, Tracy Turnblad (4-foot, 10-inch Nikki Blonsky), who wants to dance on The...read the complete Hairspray (2007) review at

This was great! I have always loved the movie and couldn't wait to see John Travolta play mom. My girls loved the Zac Efron aspect. I was not at all surprised that I loved this one as much as all of the other versions that I have seen and now I feel ...
