Cry Baby = Grease, Not Much Different

Although John Waters, the director of Cry-Baby, has a reputation for shocking and disgusting scenes, I was surprised to find that CRY-BABY's plot is virtually identical to that of GREASE. Both are set in the 1950s. In both, a leather-jacketed high school bad boy and a square girl fall in love, and after numerous musical numbers it is the girl who has to have a make-over, looking and acting "bad" in order to keep the boy's love. John Waters goes a bit more over-the-top (in Grease, Rizzo only THINKS she's pregnant; in CRY-BABY, Ricki Lake's character has two out-of-wedlock children & is pregnant with a third). CRY-BABY also has a French kissing scene that is pretty gross, even if you like tongue. Both films have some stunt casting, a drag race, and memorable songs. If you like Grease, Cry-Baby is worth a look. A young Johnny Depp in the leading role is sizzling hot!Read full review...

Looking at the young Johnny Depp in an entirely new light. Cult classic stuff..

If you were in high school in the 50's, you'll love the music, dance, car and motorcycle moves.

great fun

Wonderful John Waters film -- his first 'mainstream' movie. With a great cast, with Johnny Depp and a whole slew of iconic independent-film stars. Very entertaining, musical tribute -- and take-off -- of 50's juvenile delinquent films. Colorful and imaginative. Beautiful transfer.Read full review...

Upbeat 50's style movie

Cry-Baby contains an upbeat 50's style musical, with a satirical edge. Very entertaining!
