Review of Cry-Baby (1990) by Eva3Si0N — 02 Nov 2022

Cry-Baby comedy musical with a young Johnny Depp. And almost the entire audience of the film are people who want to see one of Depp's first independent roles. Cry-Baby is a typical youth film about the era of the 50s in the United States.

The plot in general in Cry-Baby does not play any role, it is secondary and will be pushed into the background. Almost all the events of the film border on the level of absurdity. But the music scenes and soundtrack in the film are excellent.

Cry-Baby can't be taken seriously as a musical. It's a parody of all Fifties musical youth comedies. Cry-Baby can be watched by any viewer, initially I expected to see a secondary low-budget film and received a fun youth parody of musicals.
