Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Alan Smithee Esq. This is not the first movie by John Waters that I was exposed to, that honor goes to "Serial Mom" but it's my favorite. It contains many of his signature trademarks as a director but is not as crude? Yes I guess crude works. It's a great musical for someone who doesn't like musicals and is consistently over shadowed by it's sister movie(s)/musical "Hairspray". It's also one of Johnny Depp's earliest roles and he delivers like he usually does.

gamay9 The script and acting are intended to be bad (a parody)as are most teen movies, ex: 'Blackboard Jungle' (which was supposed to be serious but I laughed throughout)were at the time. I wish they had produced the Cry-Baby' movie as it really was in the fifties. The best part was the group imitating the Crew Cuts doing 'Sh-Boom.' They should have included Johnnie Ray because he was the original 'Cry' baby.The movie also had its' obligatory negroid, ala 'Little Richard.' This film is set in Baltimore when I was a teen living in suburban Milwaukee. We didn't have blacks in our grade or high schools. There were no middle schools; they were called 'junior highs.' There was as much or more promiscuity as there is today. Kids usually met by telling another, passing notes like 'I want to meet him/her.' This was networking in the fifties. After junior high my parents transferred me to a Lutheran high school and the girls kept their legs crossed. There were more virgins than in a large convent.'American Graffiti' was more typical of teen life in the fifties but that was set in California. The TV show 'Happy Days' was set in Milwaukee and was the truest to form as the 'Moments I Remember' (Four Lads).

Brad Fecteau (OhhBradd) This is easily the worst movie I've ever watched. I went out and stocked up on some Depp films (by stocked up I mean Blow and Cry-Baby), and excitedly popped this in as soon as I got home. Not only was this the worst movie I've ever seen, it's the worst excuse for an artistic creation ever. The acting - even by Depp - is barely better than community theater. But hey! Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I missed out on the big picture or the symbolism of this movie, but I don't even care. If you value your cinema expertise at all, avoid this movie at all cost. You will feel like a filthy cigarette butt for even considering watching this.

Inaye Kirby I watched this movie not knowing it was a comedy, I found some of the actions and mannerism very awkward because the movie wasn't establishing itself as a comedy in the first scenes and if it did, I didn't find it funny. The sound effects for the movie are hit an miss and finally show you that the movie is a comedy/satire of old 50s musicals. The movie really turns around 1/3 of the way through and I just didn't like it. A lot of people think this movie shows how diverse Johnny Depp is but I think it shows how reliant he is on costumes and makeup effects to be a different character his performance was nothing to write home about.
