Movie Reviews of Cry Baby: Director's Cut
Movie Review: A classic - fun from start to finish
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my favorite movies and really proves what a versatile actor Johnny Depp is. You must understand that this movie is making fun of those cheesy Elvis-type 50's musicals and the steroetypes that were always featured. It totally succeeds on that level - no one takes themselves seriously in this movie and everyone seems to be having a blast. Plus, the musical numbers are very enjoyable and Johnny Depp is always wonderful to look at!! I love this movie and even my children enjoy watching the dance sequences (this being a John Waters' movie, it does have some moments not for the kiddies). This is one of the movies you can watch over and over and I have done so since seeing it back when I was a teenager when it first came out. I am so glad it is now on DVD and the bonus features, especially the "making of" featurette, are quite entertaining. This movie makes me smile each time I see it and Johnny is just amazing!Movie Review: cry baby cry

Cry Baby Review...
Though this movie has been silently looked over by most of the general public, it is a wonderful gem of a film. John Waters managed to make two great musical comedies from around the period of 1988-1990 - Cry Baby and Hairspray. I first watched both movies when I was 4 years old (this was probably right when the movies were released to video sometime in 1990 or 1991) and now I'm 20 and still love them. I remember going to a party when I was 4 and met Ricki Lake. My mom told me that I followed Ricki Lake around the whole party talking about Cry Baby and Hairspray, and she was very surprised and thought it was cute at the same time. It's cool to read that other kids (even younger than me) have taken a liking to this great film. I can't believe it's now on dvd.. I had no idea until just before writing this review! Hooray!

Movie Review: A Camp Musical Delight !
Summary: 5 Stars
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 !
Movie Review: New "old school"
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're like me, you were born to late for all of the great musicals, but you still love to watch them and at the same time found them a little too "old-fashioned" to relate to. That's where movies that helped Ricky Lake become a household name such as Crybaby and Hairspray came into play. They were "old-school," yet they posessed enough up to date stars and character traits to hold the interest of the young and the older generations. I personally remember watching Crybaby with my mom on several occassions when I was younger. It is by far my favorite movie, combining musical numbers, comedy, romance, and a few decent fist-fights and car chases. It teaches a lesson as well: You never know when the unfamiliar may end up being the best thing that ever happened to you. I encourage you to reserve this on DVD, if only to bring it's production about.Movie Review: you got it John Waters, you got it raw!
Summary: 5 Stars
My cousin and I were in blockbuster the other night looking for movies and we happened upon Crybaby. We both had seen it a long time ago, and noticed that Johnny Depp was in it, so we decided to give it a chance.
What we did not anticipate was the endless laughter and joy we found while watching this movie. The satirical element of it is hilarious, and the music is amazing! We found ourselves walking around quoting the movie, and showing it to all of our friends. The cast is perfect for their roles, and the plot is so far fetched that it all fits together.
Some of the lines from the movie are similar to those of Napoleon Dynamite....so hilarious you can't believe it just happened....and then you find yourself quoting it all the time.!
Crybaby is one of my favorite movies now, and I think you should all see it....
