Cry-Baby (1990)

The film is high on energy, color and camera movement and, as usual in Waters's world, everything is styled within an inch of its life, capturing all the fun and fever of the 1950s.

Cheerfully camp, terrifically enjoyable teen parody that ranks among Waters' best moments. Oh, and world -- meet Johnny Depp!

It's a satire that functions the same way the stuff it's satirizing does.

Waters' finest film to date, a worthy successor to Hairspray which exudes teen angst and young lust from every pore.

Great campy fun. How many tears will Johnny shed?

Pink Flamingos fans will find Cry-Baby decidedly tame, but it's one of my favorites.

Waters is just as offbeat as any of his film characters— and he surrounds himself with creative people who wouldn't at all be out of place in a John Waters movie.
