Legions of new fans abounded when this film about 1960's T. V. dance shows opened. Ricki Lake of later talk show fame made a great, chubby Tracy Turnblad while Mon is Divine. Lots of interesting guest stars appear in this flick. Director Waters takes on issues of racism as black kids are banned from the show, but he never gets heavy handed and sticks to his strength, namely, outrageous comedy.
