Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
It all adds up to zany, wide-eyed, quintessential Waters havoc -- the "kinder, gentler" 1990s brand, perhaps. But the genuine article, nonetheless.

The wizard of odd still runs amok.

rotten:
If Cry-Baby has a message, it's that Cry-Baby and Allison deserve each other because they're young and they're beautiful, which certainly runs counter to Waters' affection for the grotesque, the bad and the ugly.

rotten:
Cry-Baby is often sweet-spirited even when its crummy, but there's also something fetid in its foolery.

fresh:
For a while the actors seem intimidated by the '50s references, but the film eventually develops a musical energy that carries the day.
