I don't quite know how Waters did it (and I have absolutely no idea why he did it), but the fact that Cry-Baby is fun suggests that the filmmaker possesses an instinctive understanding of what made those Elvis pictures so successful in the first place.

Cry-Baby takes digs at Jailhouse Rock in a musical number that Elvis would have loved to do.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel
Waters's writing is woefully uneven. It's as if Sam Kinison had decided to tell knock-knock jokes -- sterile, unfunny knock-knock jokes at that.

Cry-Baby is often sweet-spirited even when its crummy, but there's also something fetid in its foolery.

John Waters progressed from the truly disgusting ("Pink Flamingoes") to the truly funny ("Hair Spray") only to now hit the mainstream wall.

...It's tawdry celebrity on the rampage. Waters revels in it....The wizard of odd still runs amok...
Rolling Stone
Rating: 2/4 --
As Waters moves to a more conventional type of satire, he is losing some of the edge that gave his earlier films their crass appeal.

Product Description:
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.

Cry baby
Movie Lover: WAZURI HEWITT from
BERKELEY, CA US -- August, 24, 2018
Movies from oldies are always great quality. If you like Johnny depp, and musicals, are campy like my family is, you'll love cry baby.
