"Thoroughly deserving of its cult status."
- Kim Newman, Empire Magazine
"When Divine's Edna Turnblad is on-screen in the sleeveless dresses she's partial to, the movie has something like the lunacy of a W. C. Fields in drag."
- Pauline Kael, New Yorker
"Not only Waters's best movie, but a crossover gesture that expands his appeal without compromising his vision one iota; Ricki Lake as the hefty young heroine is especially delightful."
- Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

"Waters' finest film to date, a worthy successor to Hairspray which exudes teen angst and young lust from every pore."
- Time Out
"Cheerfully camp, terrifically enjoyable teen parody that ranks among Waters' best moments. Oh, and world -- meet Johnny Depp!"
- Film4

- Cole Smithey
