All this and More by rachelsherman
This is one of my absolute favorite films ever. First of all, Johnny Depp is so delicious as "Cry-Baby" Wade Walker, I could watch him all day long. John Waters really knew what he was doing with this one. The story is fun and silly, and just plain badass (being set in the 1950s just makes it all the more perfect). It's a parody of teen musicals has gained a sort of cult following (as many of Waters' films have). I just love it, I'm watching this movie constantly. Cry Baby (1990) is full of delinquents, the "drapes", and the "squares". Cry baby falls in love with Alison a "square" and they tear up the town together. The cast is just amazing, with parts played by Iggy Pop, Traci Lords, and a couple of not so well knowns, but certainly notable: Amy Locane, Susan Tyrrell, Ricki Lake (who is often featured in many of John Waters' other films), Kim McGuire, Darren E. Burrows, Patricia Hearst, Mink Stole, and Polly Bergen.The characters in this film are just downright bit chin'. They all have their own thing going on-- really makes you wanna be friends with them, hangout at Turkey Point, and just go wild.
The soundtrack to Cry Baby is to die for. So good. It's full of musical numbers played by Johnny Depp, and Amy Locane, but the real vocals come from James Intveld and Rachel Sweet (some of these musical numbers were even written by The Blasters' Dave Alvin!). The rest of the soundtrack is just as good, featuring songs from The Students, The Crows, and Doc Starkes and the Nite Riders (with Johnny Depp's character singin' along, oh boy).
