    Product Description
    Wade \Cry-baby" Walker drives the girls in his high school class wild with his ability to shed a single tear in this juvenile delinquent musical comedy.

    Rating: UN

    Media Type: DVD"""


    Amazon.com essential video
    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

    5 out of 5 stars JOY OF LIVING   January 19, 2010
    Olivier Comte (Neuilly FRANCE)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    Once upon a time there was a movie (or "film", since it takes itself very seriously), with a gay director and gay actors.
    Gays were repressed and seen as unamerican aliens (especially by the House Committee...). They could understand and show the plight of women and minorities. James Whale had done just that in WATERLOO ROAD and ONE MORE RIVER. The master George Cukor had directed one of his masterpieces with THE MODEL AND THE MARRIAGE BROKER.It was an opportunity to show teenagers as strangers in their own country, treated as enemies, as gays were. Alas, it was all about whining, led by a cry baby, pretty long in his teenager tooth.
    The adulterer cries that his wife doesn't understand him. The whining adolescents of the film whined that their parents didn't understand them.
    I would call that family adultery by whining.
    There was no real sens of alienation, except in a forced theatrical way.
    35 years later, John Waters gives us a true masterpiece, which doesn't take itself seriously.
    The situation is simple: no guilty parents. The society separates easily the upper and middle classes from the poor people.
    The poor teenagers are juvenile delinquents by nature. They are very innocent here.
    The action takes place in 1954, the same year that the notorious "film" was shot (released in 1955.
    THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE was published in 1954, the tame but very good film was released in 1955.THE JUNGLE KIDS, also by Evan Hunter was published as a Pocket books original in July 1956. It is a heart wrenching American masterpiece. A MATTER OF CONVICTION followed in 1959 (another very good film). they deal with teenagers becoming unwilling J.D.
    The unexpensive DVD is a thing of joy: very good transfer for a very good cinematography and visual style. Waters wanting to recreate the saturated colors of the mid fifties (you can watch them in Paramount films,the Jerry Lewis movies if you are not prejudiced.
    It's all about what makes youth so important: joy of living, dynamism, in a latter Mickey Rooney sort of way, invention.
    The songs are exciting, the choreography is stirring. Everything is perfect.
    An inspired casting idea is POLLY BERGEN, still looking great, as the rich, straitlaced at first, grandmother.
    She didn't act in many movies but will be remembered for KISSES FOR MY PRESIDENT 1964 (unreleased in France) where she is elected as President of the US but soon sees her kids adrift, her husband without his firm. "Fortunately",she becomes pregnant and resigns.
    Sexism is not an invention by the East coast lberals.






    5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!   August 24, 2009
    A. Lewis (New York, NY)
    This is one of my all time favorite movies.I saw it years ago on vhs and instantly feel in love with it. This movie you either love it or hate it within the first 10 mintes.I've had a few people compare the movie to Grease,as far as charecters(the typical Danny & Sandy romance) but this movie has soooo much more depth and humor.Its not as picture perfect and the sense of humor in this movie is hilarious.Helloooo this is a John Waters film so if you know his work than this movie of course a hit.I love this movie.It's a classic!

    Denise Trinca (Oakhurst, CA USA)
    I have about worn out my VHS copy of this movie so I purchased the DVD and the CD for the car. I watch it occasionaly just for the soundtrack.


    5 out of 5 stars A Camp Musical Delight !   December 13, 2008
    lookscankill (Dayton, Ohio USA)
    Don't foget to crank up the Surround Sound when you pop this cult gem into your disc player! The director's cut is not the version you saw on local broadcast TV but you will be able to forgive the four explicatives uttered in the courtroom scene as you wipe the tears from laughing out loud from your eyes.

    How John Waters assembled this stellar cast, plus the trials and tibulations of making the film are all covered in what is about the best bonus features I have yet to see.

    Johnny Depp rules (need I say more?), Iggy Pop inspires, Tracie Lords smolders, Ricky Lake is adorable, and every cast and crew member put 1000% into this film with every bit of it showing up on the screen.

    Every song is perfect and I dare you not to hit the back button to watch the scene again after the rendition of "Please Mr.Jailer"

    I'd give this movie SIX STARS !
