Cry-Baby
Director's Cut
Johnny Depp stars in John Waters’ hilarious juvenile delinquent musical comedy extravaganza. Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker (Depp) is the coolest, toughest hood in his Baltimore high school. His ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild, especially Allison Vernon-Williams (Amy Locane). A beautiful, rich "square," Allison finds herself drawn into the world of Cry-Baby and his "drape" pals. Soon she finds herself eagerly inhaling the evil influences of rockabilly music and fast cars. It’s the hysterical, high-throttle world of 1954, complete with rousing musical numbers and a diverse cast including Polly Bergen, Susan Tyrrell, Ricki Lake, Traci Lords and many more!

I Cried and Cried - Did nothing for me - Roberto
Sorry this movie did absolutely nothing for me. Friend recommended it but i couldn't make it through the whole thing, bored bored and more bored. Seems to be a mixture of Grease, American Graffiti and The Outsiders. All good movies but this, as far as I was concerned missed the mark. Johnny Depp is usually in good movies, this was obviously one of his 1st movies. He showed his talent but the story lacked any interest and I did not laugh once - grimaced a few times. Couldn't get it back in the mail fast enough.Quirky fun - aBrickInTheWall
With an eclectic cast and catchy tunes, I can't believe we hadn't seen this before. Glad we finally caught this little gem. Everyone from Johnny Depp to Traci Lords, to Iggy Pop & Ricki Lake were great in their characters -- I get the feeling it must have been a lot of fun making this film. The unexpected laughter and surprisingly well-done musicals & singing carried this off for a great feel-good movie. Made me proud to be a rebel in the 'outcast' gang of days gone by, lol. Who wants to be a square anyway?Wow! - Fyreangel
Iggy Pop, Traci Lords, Johnny Depp, Ricki Lake? Could you ask for a more wicked cast? I loved this movie since it first came to VHS when I was a young teen. I'm a huge fan for the type of movies that make the "bad guys" look good! Those silly preps get what they deserve in the end ;) ..as they always do!
