Cry-Baby

Summary: A Classic
Review: This movie takes place in the wild 50's when rock music is starting to grip the youth of America. The story focuses on Cry Baby (Johnny Depp) and his gang, a group of disfunctional lovable rock outsiders who are just happy to be themselves. One girl, Allison, wishes to escape her white-bread world, and instantly falls in love with Cry Baby. However thre are some twists that leave her unable to decide between Cry Baby and her Republican Youth boyfriend.

This is a hilarious musical comedy. Throughout the whole movie, there are lots of great song and dance numbers which recall the days of wild rockabilly music. Johnny Depp is a very good musical performer, and I especially liked Amy Locane's performance as Allison. Since this is a John Waters film, there is a lot of oddball humor in this film. If you like your comedy a little off center, this one will hit the spot.

Summary: We like to be bad cause it sure feels good!!!
Review: This movie is so amazing! I watched it for the first time just cause Iggy was in it, but it was waaay better than I expected. Johnny Depp is incredibly gorgeous in this movie, with his hair, leather jacket.....This movie is not at all serious, so don't go in with that mindset or you'll hate it. It's campy, I mean its a musical for god's sake!!! The songs are really stupid and get stuck in your head weeks after you've seen the movie...but that's actually a good thing. This movie is not just for obsessed Johnny Depp freaks it is just generally a funny lovable movie. Oh and the Igster is hilarious as Uncle Belevedere he fits the part completely.

Summary: CRYBABY VHS - Wish it would be released on DVD
Review: What can I say about this movie - John Waters you are great.. I saw this for the first time on TV and then went out and got it on video (10yrs ago). I never could get the soundtrack til I ordered it from the USA.

Well I feel in love with this film as it was the good girl being bad and the bad boy is my all time favourite Johnny Depp. I love the songs and nearly know all the words and moves. Would love to own this on DVD as I do with Hairspray (another great film).

I love this film so much and watch my video all the time but now its getting old and cant buy a new one here in the UK.. So PLEASE John Walters release it on DVD...

This film is one to watch anytime, anywhere, with anyone.. Its fun, funny, laughable and can make you shed a tear.. I would give this film 110% as you will want to be in the film or be one of the characters.. So many to choose from - I wanted to be the good girl and live the 50's dream of being BAD!!!

Summary: Please Mr Jailer, give us Cry-Baby on DVD
Review: If you can get your paws on this, either on VHS or DVD it's well worth a giggle, and a drool. It's probably pretty easy to get on VHS (I've had it for years and it comes on the TV every so often) but it's impossible to get your hands on the DVD version. Unless you happen to come across an illegal version (I'm innocent guv). Also try Ebay, or anywhere that sells these kinda things, cos the VHS will be widely available.

Cry-Baby was made in 1990, or was at least released then, featuring a very clean cut, and very young Johnny Depp. John Waters has basically tried to do a cheaper version of Grease, cos it's set in the same period. (A lot seems to be borrowed from Elvis movies too - and Johnny's singing is a take off of Elvis, with the whole hip swinging, oh, I'm off drooling again).

There's some familiar faces in this, including Ricki Lake (looking very big, before she hit the big time as a chat show host, and a John Waters regular), Traci Lords (ex adult film actress, so one for the guys to check out), Iggy Pop, and a blink and you'll miss it prison guard role played by none other than Willem Defoe!

Most of the acting is seriously overacted most of the time, just watching the acting is hilarious. But this film is definitely a must see for Johnny Depp fans. He's so HOT in this movie! And he reminds me of someone, so it's always a must for to watch it, and blush constantly. And if you don't know how to kiss, particularly give someone a French kiss - oooh, I'll go no further!

The music is a total spoof of all those kind of fifties movies. But it's very memorable - as well as the dance moves! (I'm one of these people who seems to memorise dance moves, never mind the words to songs!) What's my favourite song? Probably "Please Mr Jailer", or "Teardrops Are Falling".

What's my favourite scene? It has to be either Johnny Depp tugging on his crotch after getting off his motorbike, or when he's trying to get out of the jail, and loses his trousers!

This film is a classic to add to anyone's collection. It's definitely going to be the main feature in mine - just try and stop me from playing it all the time!

Summary: why is cry baby not on DVD(5 Star Rating for the film)
Review: cry baby what a great film! I am 16 and i have been watching Cry baby since i was 8 years old on a battered and worn out version on VHS. The film makes me feel really happy, the songs are unforgetable and the characters are just real funny especially Johnny Depp. I have mailed the director about releasing the film on DVD and i cant wait for it to happen. I am sure lots of people will buy. So "please Mr Jailer" give us Cry baby on DVD

Summary: A Very Good Movie
Review: I Love this movie, it brings back the day of the good old 60's. When I was like 15 or 16 years old, my friends and I used to watch this movie so much that we practically knew all the words to it. We even had nick names for each person. My favorite person is hatchet face, i like her personality. I defently think that they should put this on DVD.

Summary: Johnny can SING
Review: i like this movie a lot! i saw it the other day for the first time on WE *womens entertainment* they were having this special men we love and i was like "OH YES WE DO LUV JOHNNY DEPP!" i guess im obsessed... LOL anyway... this movie is stupid but thats what makes it so funny! Alison is a square... Cry-Baby Walker is a drape (punker type person)... they fall in luv but the other squares dont like that... they fight and in the end (naturally) it ends up like Happily Ever After. Johnny isn't exactly bad in this movie... its just cheesy but i think ANY and ALL fans of Johnny will appreciate this because its only like his fifth movie or so...
