You show me someone who doesn't like this movie and I'll show you... uhhh, umm... my middle finger.

...but not really. That would be rude.

Really wish my brother would have named his son Hatchet Face, like he swore to do after we first saw this movie in the early 90s.

I love you teen rebel "Cry-Baby" Wade Walker. And I love you Johnny Depp. And I love you too John Waters. I think I might be in love.

First time I've seen this movie in many years, after recommending it to my girlfriend, who loved Hairspray. It's just as funny, kitschy and sweet as I remember it.

Depp properly goes for it but it's the supporting cast that make it, featuring such Waters dependables as Rikki Lake, Traci Lords, Mink Stole. Special mention though to the unforgettable Kim Maguire as Hatchet Face, and Iggy Pop as Uncle Belvedere.

The songs are great, the acting wildly over-the-top and it also features the least accurate portrayal of a Swedish person ever.

With this movie and Hairspray you can see that Waters had found some fertile middle ground between trash and mainstream, and it works superbly.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Another improbably slight romance. I mean, I guess at least this one's a musical, so it kind of has an excuse. But after watching Voyage of the Rock Aliens, this just seemed too tame.

I've got to admit that I love the cheesy of this flick.
I love the cheesy.
But, besides, it's a very fun watch for anyone.
Young Johnny Depp was charming in this.
The weird characters were very funny.
And the music was very cool.
This is my first John Waters film.

I can't stop singing the songs from this film

the story sucks , the film is stupid but the songs are nice!Even Johnny Depp is ridiculous

que tosqueira boa. olha só, johnny depp já foi gatinho e limpinho.
e essa hatchet face me deu calafrios.

37.

¿Qué te pasó, Johnny Depp? Antes eras muy chévere. Ahora no muerdes una mano muy sucia que te da de comer, llamada Jack Sparrow.

Anywho.

Muy buena. Reí mucho y muy muy John Waters.

Las lágrimas parecían de cera, juju.

Wild, whacky and just so damn cool. YEEOWWWW!!

Yes, another one I have never seen. I dug the music & dancing, but there was a high cheese factory, especially the 'chicken' ending. I will say that girl Hatchetface was the ugliest female I've ever seen!

Really wish my brother would have named his son Hatchet Face, like he swore to do after we first saw this movie in the early 90s.

A high camp send-up of Grease, to which it is far superior, Cry-Baby is trashy, tacky and enormous fun.

Featuring a Bambi-eyed Johnny Depp in the title role, Cry-Baby has a great soundtrack and memorable supporting characters, and has the familiar John Waters trope of celebrating the freaks and outsiders. I wish I'd watched this when I was a teenaged girl, I think I would have found some great feminist (and wardrobe) inspiration from Ramona Rickets, Pepper, Wanda and Hatchet-Face.
