About this movie

Eisenhower is President. Rock 'n' Roll is king. And Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the baddest hood in his high school. Johnny Depp heads up a supercool cast as the irresistible bad boy whose amazing ability to shed one single tear drives all the girls wild especially Allison Vernon Williams (Amy Locane), a rich, beautiful "square" who finds herself uncontrollably drawn to the dreamy juvenile delinquent and his forbidden world of rockabilly music, fast cars and faster women. It's the hysterical high-throttle world of 1954 in director John Waters' outrageous musical comedy.

Ratings and reviews

I've always loved this move, but I am EXTREMELY disappointed that I just paid $4.99 for HALF a movie. Scenes were either cut short or cut out completely, including multiple songs. Do not pay for this. You're better off streaming it online. At least you'll get the full experience that way. Also, they beep out any cuss words... Bullcrap.

It’s a great movie I just don’t know how to work it. I bought the movie and I went to go try and watch it but I can’t if someone could please help me. I’d be very nice.

It was good but most black people were in jail and only one black came up in the move twice no as much as others did and all whites went to Allison school and her grand mothers school but no blacks but in the jail part most blacks I'm a black person and my family thought that was kinda rasict but it was a great movie ☺😊😍😍😍😘😘😘😍😍😘😍 I love you jhonny deep
