I personally loved this film. I originally bought Cry Baby because my neice told me about it (she loves those faux 50's films), but after I watched it I started telling co-workers of mine to buy it. Loved the songs and the cute dresses, not to mention a young Johnny Depp ;D. Amy Locane played the... Read full review »

Good girls want him bad. Bad girls want him worse.


I. Love. This film.
Thought I would write a review to help other people discover it.

Johnny Depp is Cry Baby. The juvenile delinquent that the bad girls want and the bad boy the good girls couldn't take home to mum.

Allison Vernon-Williams is tired of being a good girl Square. She's got the hots for Cry-Baby, the leader of the Drapes gang, known to the community as juvenile delinquents. Her relationship with boyfriend, Baldwin, is cooling as quickly as her curiosity toward the Drapes grows.

The Director's Cut of CRY-BABY on DVD: Being bad never felt this good.

Pros Playful, satirical, spirited musical pastiche with a DVD package too cool for words.
Cons It's 100% pure kitsch from Baltimore's own "pope of trash."
Recommended it? Yes

My older sister was a humongous fan of musicals at the young age when I was obsessed with horror films. She liked Grease and Dirty Dancing and a movie called CRY-BABY. That one she talked about a lot. I was too young to give a damn about either John Waters or even Johnny Depp at that time, and I... Read full review »

Pros Watching a young Johnny Depp sing and dance in a musical.

Crybaby was one of my favorite musicals. It starred Johnny Depp (my favorite actor) and Ricki Lake. This movie was made before the two stars became very famous. The movie was about two groups of people-the drapes and the squares during the 1950's. Crybaby Walker (Johnny Depp) a drape, and Allison... Read full review »

I have never been so disgusted with a movie. This was on TV last night and since I love Johnny Depp and had never seen Cry Baby I was excited to watch. This movie made me sick. It is rare that I don't like a movie because I am not very picky. The characters nauseated me, especially the girl with... Read full review »

Pros Attempts to continue in the vein of the excellent Hairspray
Cons Fails miserably!
Recommended it? No

With most John Waters' films, you knew you were about to walk into a freakshow. His last two films prior to this were attempts to break out of that mold, which was beginning to stifle him somewhat. Polyester was a trash epic with an absolutely perfect setting/placement - in your neighborhood. In... Read full review »

Cry Baby is the type of film that is seen only for a good laugh, and these are exactly the types of movies I like. Johnny Depp acts (if you can call it that!) in this movie as Cry Baby Walker, a "drape" teenager who only wants to raise hell and rock 'n' roll in order to avenge the death of his...

This movie is about as cheesy as cheesy gets. And that's one of the things that's so great about it.

Cry-Baby is a musical comedy, made in 1990 by the insane genius known as John Waters. You can tell it's made in the 1990 despite the fact that it takes place in the 50's, which makes it all... Read full review »

This is my favorite non-Devine film of John Waters. There's singing, dancing, Traci Lords, what more do you need? (My favorite John Waters' film with Devine is "Hairspray"). I'm sure if Devine had still been alive, he, or err, she'd be here somewhere!

This movie is a pretty good movie. It is certainly not one of Johnny Depp's best and his character in "Cry-Baby" is very different from his usual rolls. The movie is set in the 1950s. Depp plays a juvenile delinquent names Cry-Baby and heads the gang known as the "Drapes". When he falls in love... Read full review »

Cry-Baby is not a movie for children, although it does have a rating of PG-13. So it's nothing that the average adult would be offended by. It may even bring back some memories for those of you who grew up in the fifties. Yes, Cry-Baby has that fifties nostalgia thing going on. It also has fast... Read full review »

Cry-Baby [VHS]

John Waters's goofy, 1990 comedy about a Baltimore girl (Amy Locane) who can't decide if she should remain good in her 1954 world or hang out with the motorcycle boys is funny in a scene-by-scene way, but doesn't quite gel into the grand piece the director was hoping for. The cast is exceptionally likable, however, including Johnny Depp as an Elvis type and Iggy Pop as a chattering loony. The best material is set in a fringe world of bikers and losers on the outskirts of town, and Waters writes some hilarious sardonic dialogue for the characters. Cry-Baby is the last of Waters's more undisciplined features; he followed it with the glossier but no less perverse Serial Mom. --Tom Keogh

CRY BABY (DIRECTOR'S CUT) - DVD Movie

Eisenhower is President. Rock 'n' Roll is king. And Wade Cry-Baby Walker is the baddest hood in his high school. Johnny Depp heads up a supercool cast as the irresistible bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild - especially Allison Vernon Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful square who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women. It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters' outrageous musical comedy.
