HeeHee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this movie. It's very touching but kinda weird and offensive when Penny's mom shocked her with a stick because she's dating a black guy. But I think otherwise it's cool.

WAY better than the musical version
I noticed a lot of people on this page gave "Hairspray" a really scathing review and called it "inappropriate" and stuff. Heck, Common Sense Media gave it an "iffy" for 13. Are you kidding me?!?!? You obviously don't know John Waters very well. Compared to other John Waters movies, this is EXTREMELY tame. Look up "Pink Flamingos" on the internet if you want to see an inappropriate movie by John Waters. Anyway, I think "Hairspray" is a classic! Every kid should see it. It has a really good message. It is in no way inappropriate for little kids (other than the beatnik scene, but even that isn't so bad). This movie is WAY better than the musical version.

Entertainment for the older kid crowd
Hairspray is a fun movie to watch, but be warned, it's not for younger kids. Lots of sexual innuendos and body language. I would not recommend it to children under 13. That being said, you know your own children. If you choose to let them watch it, be prepared to discuss it!

Ok for tweens. Good for teens!
There is quite alot of Violence, Penny is put in a Mental Institution for dating a Black man. There is a Riot and Link is left in a Wheelchair. There is also some kissing and Flirting. Not as much Music and Fun as the New Version but a Cute movie that shows you to follow your dreams but do whats right(:

I haven't seen this movie, but thanks to Common Sense Media, I won't. The cursing in this film should make it PG-13,
and the later version is much more mild.

Adult classic, not for children under 16
Some parts were inapproprite. They should of made the movie rated R or atleast PG-13 at the very least, instead of PG.

Perfect for preteens and adults
Brilliant film on many levels. Our kids (9 and 6) loved the singing and dancing and my wife and I thought the broader themes were also terrific. We've seen it about 6 times! Exceptionally well done.

Good movie!!!!!!
I think PG is a good rating for it. The language to me isn't bad at all and I watched it when I was 9 the time before last(I just watched it the other day again). Tracy is a positive charcter and a good role model for standing up against injustice. Some people need to not rate it so harshly. All in all it IS a good movie. I would recomend it for a 9 or 10 year old.

Get up and Dance!
This is an awesome movie! Tracy is a great role model for every girl. Penny and Seaweed's relationship is hilarious. The music makes you want you get up and dance along with the cast (I learned every dance just from watching it). There is a lot of making-out (it gets a little gross), but kids will love the music. Oh, if you have a chance, see the Broadway musical version of it in NYC. It's amazing!

The first, the best!
The new Hairspray has nothing on this John Waters classic - something great for practically the whole family.

Good role models
There is some iffy stuff like a brief reference to drugs, but it's pretty good. Tracy and her friends are really cool because they break barriers between races, sizes, and all that fun stuff. So she's a good role model :)

Not appropriate for little girls lots of sex related issues
I was very disappointed with the movie, I was in shock when I watched this with my 9 year old. First starts out that they need a new dancer becuase she needs 9 months OFF!! So shes pregnanent how absurd, Hollywood has us parents that our kids need to be exposed to sex at a young age. Hollywood needs to get their you no what out of their BUMS!!!!! I would not reccomend this to any child under 14 period!!!!!!!!
