   Is Cry Baby a good movie?

   • Cry Baby gives a new meaning to the word, overwhelming. [Full review in Spanish] In fact, the movie is so good- humored that it stands in marked contrast to almost every other mainstream American film out now... It's not at all difficult to declare Cry-Baby the best American movie musical in recent memory.

   Does Cry-Baby have a message?

   • Cry-Baby is often sweet-spirited even when its crummy, but there's also something fetid in its foolery. If Cry-Baby has a message, it's that Cry-Baby and Allison deserve each other because they're young and they're beautiful, which certainly runs counter to Waters' affection for the grotesque, the bad and the ugly.

   What is 'Cry-Baby' about?

   • Feelings like these are what John Waters ' "Cry-Baby" is about. The movie takes place in 1954, in Baltimore, at the dawn of rock 'n' roll (one is reminded of the opening scenes of "2001," at the dawn of man, an event less remarked at the time). The teenage culture is divided into three camps: the drapes, the squares, and the nerds.

   Is 'Cry-Baby' a musical?

   • All of the actors, from Johnny Depp who (as with all of his roles) *becomes* the character to Joe Dallesandro who barely can get his lines out, believe in their characters. "Cry-Baby" parodies 50's "Teen Rebel" musicals such as "Rock Around the Clock" and "Don't Knock the Rock", but with obvious affection. Yes, it's a musical.

   Apr 6, 1990 · The movie tells the story of Cry-Baby himself, played by teen idol Johnny Depp as a juvenile delinquent who forever has a tear sliding halfway down his cheek, a reminder of a grief he will live with forever, a teenage tragedy that has left its mark on his soul, a lost romance.

   User Reviews. A delinquent musical Joy-Ride with 50's teen angst films... This is a film that John Waters created as a loving send up of 1950's teen and juvenile delinquent films. It tells the story of Cry-Baby (Depp) a teenage orphan with the ability to make women swoon by shedding a single tear.
