"'Hairspray' completes its strange journey from the streets of Baltimore to the Great White Way and on to Hollywood via a big-budget, star-studded adaptation of the Broadway smash, courtesy of Cheaper By The Dozen 2 director Adam Shankman and Pay It Forward screenwriter Leslie Dixon. Waters cultists have ample reason to be wary, but the film retains a surprisingly subversive edge that undercuts its blinding surface gloss. Zaftig newcomer Nicole Blonsky stars as an ebullient high-school student who becomes a popular attraction on a Baltimore dance program and an unlikely foot soldier in the battle for integration. Buried under mountains of prosthetic flab and makeup, John Travolta once again surrenders his wavering dignity as Blonsky's morbidly obese mother, who's ambivalent about her daughter's quest for notoriety." (Nathan Rabin, A.V. Club)
