Other mistake: In the scene where you first see Tracy in class, one of the boys speaks and the subtitles reads," Ms. Whimsy, I can't see the board again." When Tracy says it, the subtitle reads Wimsey.

Motormouth Maybelle: [to Seaweed and Penny.] Oh, so this is love? [She pauses and then smiles.] Well, love is a gift, a lot of people don't remember that. So, you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin' at you from a neverending parade of stupid.
Penny Pingleton: [Totally serious.] So, you've met my mom?
Trivia: Jerry Stiller, who plays Mr. Pinky, played Wilbur Turnblad in the 1988 version of Hairspray.
Question: At the end, right at the beginning of the song "Hairspray" at the pageant, Amber turns to Link and whispers, "Look, there's the agents" and it cuts to a few suit-wearing people with clipboards. My mom and I noticed that one of the women among them looked like Ricki Lake. Is it her, in a cameo? It would seem to make sense since she was in the original movie.
Answer: Yes, that is Ricki Lake, the original Tracy Turnblad, in a cameo appearance!
