This is the only John Waters film to get a PG rating. The story is about the rising fame of a "big boned" Baltimore teen, named Tracy Turnblad, who gets her big break as a dancer on The Corny Collins Show. This movie also has a subplot on the evils of segregation, and Divine in two roles, as the racist pig Arvin Hodgpile, and as Tracy's mother. Many would not recognize this film because it is not traditional pre-polyester Waters style. However, die-hard fans would be able to spot the similarities in this film with other early-waters films.
