Amazon.co.uk Review

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

King Cry-Baby! 15 July 2005
Format:DVD
If you're a fan of musicals, then this is a must-see or must-buy for your collection.
Filled with fun songs, this film is cleverly done.
When leader of the Drapes, Cry-Baby (Johnny Depp) falls for the perfect square, he'll do anything to get her. Depp brings across a fantastic performance along with co-stars Ricky Lake and Iggy Pop.
With catchy tunes such as 'King Cry-Baby' and 'Please, Mr Jailer', you'll soon be singing along!
A definite must-see movie, for all fans of Johnny Depp. 10/10.
Definately my favourite movie, the soundtrack is pretty good too!

Format:DVD
This is a great film one of the best Johnny Depp has ever done.
Its kind of a skit of Grease but also of society being petty about stuff that doesn't matter (squares) and thinking teenage pregnancy is great (drapes).
The good girl decides she's fed up being good and catches the eye of Cry baby Walker, a "juvenile delinquent", he invites her to come see him sing and then impresses her Grandma by almost causing a car accident. After a slight fight which the squares started Cry Baby ends up in jail and because of a slight mis representation of the truth Alison thinks he's betrayed her. The film is cringe worthily funny but also gives important lessons in life, such as 'never follow a rat'.
I'm not much of a Depp fan but this film hits the all time favourites for all the girls in my family, definitely get this film. And its got Rickie Lake in it - its odd but she always seems to play poor people in films.

If you want to see Johnny Depp in a completely different light, just after he left Jump Street, and taking the p out of himself... then this is definitely the movie to be watching! It's funny, Johnny Depp is hilarious and Iggy Pop is so great. Sort of a take-off of Grease, the clash between the "Drapes" and the "Squares" is not one to miss, so if you're up for a laugh, I would definitely recommend this!!!

Brilliant!
DVD arrived quickly and works perfectly. Cry Baby is such a fun and campy film, definitely one I'd recommend to all.

One man's trash...
Cry-Baby isn't a film many would rank alongside Last Tango in Paris. It's a weird, noisy musical about characters too absurd to exist in our universe. Read more

superb music
Although the movie is a send up of all 50's genere teen movies the sound track is spot on. Shows grease up for it's pathetic sound track. Watch, enjoy and pump up the volume!
