Rainy day movie review: John Travolta in a dress and 'bad' Michelle Pfeiffer — it's Hairspray

Hairspray is full of good energy and optimism, which is more than you can say about modern day America. It sends up the malice and daftness of segregation.  This movie hops on board with the forces of change, and they have all the best tunes, not to mention clothes

It’s impossible to get through an Irish summer without a rainy day movie.

Hairspray is on Netflix now and it’s the best movie I never watched. At least u ntil the rain arrived last weekend and my wife put it on because she reckoned the kids couldn’t play video games all day. (I didn’t mind either way.)
