Taking on and demolishing just about every known middle-class value. No shit! I actually like the story and realise it?s a bit of fun, I really like John Walters and Divine, I also realise the value of this film, the risks it took and the boundaries it was confronting and the soc...( read more)
I've heard it said that this film is an attack on middle-class sensibilities. That's wrong. It's a full-frontal blitzkrieg assault.
I know that Waters is trying to be outrageous and shocking and obscene, but I draw the line when it comes to brutally beating animals to death. ...( read more)
3 stars just for being so disgusting, but for the same reason I can't give it anymore either. Recommending it to anyone would alone send me to hell.
The shock value of this movie isn't there as much for me as film-goers of this film's time, because, well, I'm a product of the internet generation and a singing asshole is something I would casually download nowadays. That said, this is still a sick movie in many ways, as is int...( read more)
wow...just...i mean...from the guy on guy blowjob scene to the divine eating shit scene...what do i know?
A hell ride of fun! You cant possibly describe this pile of hilariously disgusting material with words. The movie should be a genre of its own. Bravo mister Waters!

To be quite frank I have seen some films that were beyond anything I have seen before. But this film takes the cake. I thought it was very disturbing and made some sense but was lost around the way. The movie had Divine which I loved in the original hairspray. This Jon Water's film was way over the top for me and not at all fascinating like I thought it was going to be. I would recommend seeing other Water's films that are far superior better than this one. 1 1/2 stars because Divine was the best in it...
