This is actually my favourite version of this musical, and overall it's probably one of the best movie adaptations ever. It's pacing is incredible and properly fits a lot of information in under 2 hours. It's also just an overall heartwarming movie, and it sometimes makes no sense at one point but is then focusing on a serious topic later, which many musicals fail to do. My favourite change from the original version is the fact that only in this version, lil inez won ms teenage hairspray, because it sort of is a shock since its building up to tracy winning but lil inez winning is simply a better plotline since it makes her more of a complete character, and of course it delivers the message that this movie is supposed to
I give this movie 9.5/10
