Antagony & Ecstasy
September 12, 2007 The Waters film for your grandma, who will probably be only a little bit freaked out by it.

Reverse Shot
August 08, 2009 The shock Waters's cinema offers, then, is not transcendent, but almost reflexive, implicating the viewer in the awkward complexities of his own humanity and forcing him to either celebrate it or run screaming away.

Chicago Sun-Times
January 01, 2000 The movie is a bubble-headed series of teenage crises and crushes, alternating with historically accurate choreography of such forgotten dances as the Madison and the Roach.

The Dissolve
March 10, 2014 While it's corny by design, Hairspray also aims to get at something truthful, about the various kinds of prejudice [...] and how youthful optimism and music made a difference [...].

Variety
June 30, 2007 John Waters' appreciation for the tacky side of life is in full flower in Hairspray, a slight but often highly amusing diversion about integration, big girls' fashions and music-mad teens in 1962 Baltimore.

New Yorker
May 28, 2008 When Divine's Edna Turnblad is on-screen in the sleeveless dresses she's partial to, the movie has something like the lunacy of a W. C. Fields in drag.

Time Out
June 24, 2006 Waters' most hygienically commercial film is a Retro schlock-fancier's delight.

December 18, 2010 A kitschy teen fantasy you can dance to.
Radio Times
July 10, 2016 Waters tones down his usual excesses, but his mischievous black sense of humour is still very much to the fore in this affectionate salute to Z-grade teen movies.
