JaySep 1, 2020reasons why corny collins is better than link larkin: - prioritised integrating the show even though it could turn audiences against him and he could lose his career - he's a better singer (see: the run he does at the end of 'it's hairspray') - zac efron is fine but james…

bean lovedHairsprayI love this movie. It was very special to me as a child and it always will be. I have watched it countless times over the years. Amazing songs, acting, characters and plot. Always puts a smile on my face and gets me in a good mood. Zac Efron rocks. My one true love.

This was magical to watch as a kid. Couldn’t blink. There’s still some special magic to it now.

I can hear the bells will never be beat
Nenibus likedHairsprayfun, uniquely done, great characters and developments, storys nice and while the message is important it doesnt feel like they are shoving anything down anyones throat, didnt really like tracy tho, but her song at tbe beggining was peak. the rest of them were also really good
Larry Daley likedHairsprayAlthough I’m still not sure why Travolta is Tracey’s Mother, it’s possibly the best casting of the entire film. The music is really fun even if the vocal performances don’t quite hit the same as some other musicals, and overall this is an enjoyable watch

Boston Globe
Delivers an even bigger sugar rush than the hit Broadway musical.
