Very good! Scary at parts but overall a great adaptation! Carrey is great in all his roles!

Enjoyable. Silly. Probably too much silly for a 90 minutes movie. But I always liked Bean, so it doesn't matter. But there is no Teddy :( And Bean seems almost retarded in it.

Hairspray is the brilliant musical I've ever seen. The two messages - fat people are normal & black people are like others - is presented in the movie very well. All the actors are perfects in their role. Congratulations Nikki Blonsky for his first role. Travolta was pretty funny in his mother role, but we see Travolta, not his character. Except that, I can see the movie again, again and again. All the songs are well choosed. The way they put the 1988 version and the 2002 broadway version together are well done. And, on the DVD, the special features (on the Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition) are spectacular.

This movie is so beautiful. It's not funny because he's saying jokes, it's funny because he's so pity. It's powerful because it's funny, sad and the movie have so much good acting and powerful character! A movie to see again and again.
