Movie Reviews of Cry Baby: Director's Cut
Movie Review: Johnny Depp and John Waters, what a combination.
Summary: 5 Stars
John Waters may not be everyone's cup of tea but he's a genius when it comes to making movies. No one makes them quite like him and no one ever will. There's one thing about his movies though -- they can't, and SHOULDN'T, be remade, this one included.
Basically it's one of those dumb musicals that you can't help but like because the music is good and the actors are wonderful -- even if their acting in the movie is bad. It's set in the 1950s in Baltimore, which is funny onto itself. The grandmother is dumb and funny, the girl is a slut in the making, the boy's a bad one and there's the obligatory slutty woman trying to steal our girl's guy who ends up with the lead girl's straight edge boy toy. What more could you want to make this funnier? The acting is bad but you laugh anyways because it adds to the charm. The music is wonderful, even if sometimes questionable. The clothes are pretty accurate and the lingo is just catchy, makes you want to start saying it. (Plus there's that scene with Johnny in his whitey tighties, sure to get every teeny boppers heart throbbing.)
Now, some of you might think it's too weird for you and that's okay, but for everyone who hasn't seen it and likes Johnny Depp, rent it at least to see if you will like it or not.
Movie Review: one of my all-time faves!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is a cult classic! For any real Johnny Depp fan, it's a must-have! That man can make even the lamest movie good. Sure...it's really cheesy, but it's just so much fun!!! The cast is great...they're all a little crazy (some alot crazy) but you'll love them. And the songs are something else. I mean that in a good way. It's sort of an aquired taste, I guess you could say, but I've always loved everything about this movie! I was nine years old when I first saw it. My mother used to rent it for me at the video store almost every weekend...I was obsessed! It just got to the point when she just had the video store order me a copy (back then you couldn't buy most new releases for months after they came out). I watched the tape SO many times that eventually, over the years, I wore it out. So when they finally came out with the DVD, I was ecstatic!!! I wouldn't say I'm obsessed anymore, but it's definitely one of my all time favorite movies. If you haven't seen it yet, please make it a point to watch it...at least once. You'll either love it, or you'll hate it. There's no in between. But I think you'll love it (even though you may not want to admit it).Movie Review: A great little movie!

When I first sat down to watch this movie, I didn't know what to expect. I thought the movie was going to take itself seriously. WRONG! I couldn't stop laughing at all of the blatantly ridiculous stereotyping and corny one-liners!
This movie seems to balance on the line of seriousness and satire. It pokes fun at everything of that time, and yet the plot isn't really all that far fetched. There was also some "fantabulous" music in there as well. If you don't watch it for the plot, the actors (Johnny Depp included), or John Waters, then watch it for the music.
All of the actors gave stunning preformances and the rolls seemed to be tailor made to each of them. A better cast couldn't have been assembled if you tried.
Are there a few stereotypes? Yes. Is the plot predictable? Oh yeah. But it's also a fun movie that I would recommend you see at least once in your life. It's like a less serious version of Grease. So go see it. Now. I assure you that you won't be able to see it just once!
Movie Review: Cry-Baby Walker Rules
Summary: 5 Stars
I had seen this movie in the movie theatre as a teenager and it Rocked!! That started my enjoyment of Johnny Depp films. I never watched 21 Jump Street until this movie. The cast is so funny. The TV version I seen added parts that I had not seen in the theatre but cut out parts that were extremely funny. Now I have a copy of the TV version plus the video version which was what I seen in at the movies. It would be really great to get on DVD with both versions together (played together or both on one disc). To this day I can sing every song (I had the soundtrack before the videos) and say most of the words with everyone. It is a funny movie that just won't get old watching over and over!! In fact I watched it today. I just can't say enough about how hilarious this movie. It is the "bad boy" falling in love with the "good girl" just like "Grease" and other great movies like that. I think they did a great job at making it look like the 50s in the movie. It has been my favorite movie since I seen it.Movie Review: CRYBABY VHS - Wish it would be released on DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
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!!!
