Review of Cry-Baby (1990) by Harper Barnes for St. Louis Post-Dispatch — 13 Dec 1995
Basically the filmmaker reminds us of his affection for social misfits, but without much conviction. He's simply too hip to commit himself to his beliefs, and a relentless frivolity prevails. Still Cry-Baby is not without its spit-curled charms, its amusing lines and its funky famous-name cameos.
