Synopsis

Cry Baby is a moody tough guy from the wrong side of the tracks, Allison is a clean-cut girl from a "nice" family. When they fall in love it sets the Drapes against the Squares. Think you have heard that story before? Don't worry, this very funny musical comedy knows exactly how well worn its basic plot is, but brings it to life with great songs and bizarre supporting characters. Johnny Depp nails it as Cry Baby in one of his first big movie roles.
