Cult director John Waters goes mainstream -- sort of -- in this send-up of 1950s teen melodramas. Heart-throb Johnny Depp stars in the title role as a glamorous delinquent who heads a gang of hoods known as the Drapes. Trouble starts when Cry-Baby falls for a squeaky clean blonde from a rival group, the Squares. Their star-crossed romance sets off a rumble between the warring factions and Cry-Baby ends up doing time in reform school. Chock-full of rock 'n roll and Waters' usual cavalcade of eccentric celebrities, including Patty Hearst, Iggy Pop and former porn star Traci Lords.
Cast:
"...It's tawdry celebrity on the rampage. Waters revels in it....The wizard of odd still runs amok..."
-- Peter Travers
, (Rolling Stone)
"...Waters embellishes CRY-BABY's endless set-pieces with inimitable touches..." -- Mike Clark , (USA Today) "...Vintage trivia [turns] into crazily overblown little triumphs..." -- Janet Maslin , (New York Times) "[A] jailhouse-rockin' tribute to '50s juvie movies..." -- Sam Adams , (Entertainment Weekly) "[I]ts charm derives from a palpable affection for the Elvis-era mores it's sending up." -- Matthew Leyland , (Sight and Sound) |
