John Waters’ Cry-Baby is a 1990 cult musical comedy film starring Johnny Depp as Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker, a rebellious teen from Baltimore’s “Drapes” gang in the 1950s. The story mixes romance, satire, and rock ’n’ roll culture, focusing on Cry-Baby’s love for the prim Allison Vernon-Williams, crossing social divides between the tough “Drapes” and the clean-cut “Squares.” The film blends campy humor with musical numbers and showcases Waters’ signature quirky style, poking fun at teen movie tropes while celebrating outsider youth culture. It’s a playful, stylized homage to 1950s Americana with a cheeky, rebellious edge.
