Hairspray: Two-Disc Shake & Shimmy Edition
Directed by: Adam Shankman
Alliance
The notion of John Waters’ kitschy ode to ’60s pop/social revolution getting remade as a Hollywood musical with John Travolta seems so wrong that I’m sure Waters loves it. This new Hairspray works as the most infectious teen movie in ages. With this comprehensive DVD package, its openhearted reach will make it more than just a staple of girls’ sleepovers.
