New York Post
The best and most entertaining movie adaptation of a stage musical so far this century - and yes, I’m including the Oscar-winning "Chicago." - 80
Variety
It's one of the best Broadway-tuner adaptations in recent years -- yes, arguably even better than those Oscar-winning ones. - 80
Empire
Offering plenty of body and a lot of lift, Hairspray gels kitsch styling with show-stopping tunes to mould a memorable musical. - 80
Newsweek
Shankman and his screenwriter, Leslie Dixon, prove you can make a lightweight Broadway musical into big movie fun. - 75
Premiere
This Hairspray really is a lot of fun -- colorful, sassy, and brisk. - 75
ReelViews
The film isn't deep or thematically rich or filled with amazing characters. Instead, it's an excursion into song and dance, and works admirably on that level. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
John Travolta takes on John Waters in Hairspray, and the result is anything but a drag in this appealingly goofy, all-singing, all-dancing screen adaptation of the Broadway musical based on the 1988 film. - 70
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Adam Shankman's movie of the Broadway Hairspray gets better as it lumbers along, but there’s something garish about its hustle--it’s like an elephant trumpeting in your face.
