Time Out says

Waters' most hygienically commercial film is a Retro schlock-fancier's delight. Remember backcombing and the beehive, pale-pink lipstick, acid yellows, that first kiss? Tracy Turnblad (Lake), fat teenie offspring of fatter Edna (Divine), dreams of winning the dance crown on The Corny Collins Show on TV, but falls foul of bitchy queen-of-the-hop Amber von Tussle (Fitzpatrick) and her grotesquely unscrupulous parents (Harry and Bono). Also on the strength are Ruth Brown as Motormouth Maybelle, Pia Zadora as a beatnik, and plenty of vigorous hoofing to the unlamented Madison.
