[I]ts charm derives from a palpable affection for the Elvis-era mores it's sending up.

...Waters embellishes CRY-BABY's endless set-pieces with inimitable touches...
USA Today
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.

Rating: 3/4 --
For a while the actors seem intimidated by the '50s references, but the film eventually develops a musical energy that carries the day.

Rating: 2/4 --
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.

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.
