Cry Baby (Directors Edition) [DVD]

Released in 1990, the same year as Edward Scissor Hands these were Johnny Depps first films in the starring role.This a sort of loopy take on Jailhouse rock.Not bad.I prefer Hairspray and Dirty shame.Still worth watching anything John Walters ever made imo.You get a 50 min making of and John Walters commentary both cool additions.Worth watching ...6/10

Love this film! I'd forgotten how good it is. Johnny Depp is at his finest as Cry-Baby Walker with Rickie Lake playing his sister Pepper and Iggy Pop playing Uncle Belvedere. Features some great music from the 50's, written and directed by John Waters this is a mickey take of Dirty Dancing and Jail House Rock, Johnny Depp show cases just how well he can sing as he plays the juvenile delinquent Wade Cry-Baby Walker who falls in love with the square Alison Vernon-Williams ( Amy Locane) Also features the late Kim McGuire as Hatchet-Face. Brilliant film.

Johnny Depp always seems to choose weird films to be in with strange characters to play, and this is no exception. If you watched this as a child, you probably loved it - which describes me to a T! It's a really awful film that is just stupid in places, a ridiculous musical with characters that just wouldn't exist in real life. In one part of the movie, there's a girl who says she's pregnant to try and get cry baby to stay with her, then later on grabs a child's doll in front of him and says she's had her baby - which is just stoopid. But if you love Johnny Depp, then get it. Ricki Lake is in it too, when she was really young and huge, playing cry baby's little sister, still in high school but with 2 kids aged around 6 and 8, and pregnant with her third. If you think about it, she'd have had her first kid aged around 7 or 8 years old! It's just a really stupid movie.Hatchet face always makes me laugh with the faces she pulls too...

got the directors cut of this movie with some new scenes.very funny and entertaining.the music in this for me are on a par with grease.johhny depp is great in this,he has a great cast with him. ricki lake as his sister pepper is funny,the characters milton wanda and hatchet [i really think she looks like that in real life]. mrs vernon williams is good and the judge. this version does not bleep the court room swearing[might not be able to show to young kids].from beginning to end this is a must for me the best john walters movie.i will be looking for this version on bluray but for now will watch this dvd version,make sure you watch the docu it came from baltimore as it interviews the cast as they are i think in 2010

Before he was a pirate, or an evil wizard, Johnny Depp was Wade Walker, bad boy drape of my teenage dreams.It's been a joy to pass my love of this cheesy musical down to my daughter!

I love this film, have loved it for years. I know it word for word & sing along to the songs. It's incredibly cheesy but that's what I love about it (that & a young Johnny Depp).

This Blu Ray disc make a great film a fantastic film, with a superb surround sound track and excluding the opening titles the picture quality is a far improvement on the old DVD picture, as for the film its self its a fun take off of the 50s rock and roll films with some really good music with a great acting performance from all the cast but especially from Johnny Depp, if you like music,and fun films then this is for you, buy it and have a great fun night in, you will not regret it, this is one of my favorite films, fantastic.

Love the soundtrack but not so keen on the film it's a very cheesy as the story line is weak but easy watch
